En-hegal


En-hegal, also Enhengal, was an ancient ruler of the Sumerian city-state of Lagash. Only one inscription mentioning him is known, the "Tablet of En-hegal", describing a business transaction. It is estimated that he ruled circa 2570 BCE.
It is thought that En-hegal was a predecessor of Ur-Nanshe. The tablet describes a business transaction, in which King En-hegal buys land. He seems to have purchased about 1,000 hectares of land. A tentative translation of the tablet was published by George A. Barton.
