| Notes | « Ce document sumérien provient des Archives d'Uru-KA-gina, homme nouveau qui fut porté au pouvoir par le peuple après le renversement de la dynastie d'Ur-Nanshe. Dès son avènement, il entreprit une politique de réformes visant à restaurer l'ordre antérieur compromis par les abus des puissants et des riches, le palais et les temples principalement. Ces réformes ne réussirent pas à rendre sa puissance à Lagash. Uru-KA-gina fut défait par Lugalzagesi, roi d'Umma, le rival de toujours, et Lagash ne s'en releva pas. » | |||||||||||||||||||||||
