INTRODUCTORY REMARKS 
 
 At various times scholars have published synchronistic lists of 
 the patesis of individual cities of Babylonia with the kings of the 
 Ur dynasty; especially is this true of Lagash and Umma.^ The 
 purpose of this monograph is to present a chronological and syn- 
 chronistic list of the so-called patesis of not only a few, but of all 
 the cities mentioned in the published material so far as it has been 
 accessible to the writer. In addition to the many published texts, 
 the Yale Babylonian Collection and the Nies Babylonian Collection 
 were most fruitful sources for texts giving the names of new 
 patesis and additional dates for many others previously known.- 
 For the privilege of examining and using the new material offered 
 by these two collections, the author is deeply indebted, and sincerely 
 grateful, to Professor Clay of Yale, and Dr. Nies of Brooklyn, N. Y. 
 
 A study of the legal and administrative literature of this period 
 furnishes valuable data, not only on the historical and chronological 
 side, but also a number of facts important and helpful for a clearer 
 understanding of the status, duties, etc., of this official.^ Thus we 
 find forty-two cities mentioned, and of these the names of eighty- 
 five different patesis, together with the names of eight others so 
 far not identified with any place. They represent the reigns of 
 each of the five kings of Ur. 
 
 The names of the patesis and places, the years, and the number 
 of the text, are given in the list, page 14 ff. In the case of several 
 places, it is possible to reconstruct a practically complete list of 
 their respective patesis, showing the synchronisms with the kings 
 of Ur. Such a list can be made for Umma, Nippur and Lagash

 from the 35tli year of Dungi to the 3d of Ibi-Sin. See table 
 opposite. 
 
 In this table several facts are to be noted. In the first place, there 
 are two patesis mentioned for Umma for the 57th year of Dungi 
 and the 5th of Bur- Sin, namely, Ur-<iNegun and Aakalla. It is 
 clear that Ur-'^Negun's rule continues as late as the 8th year of 
 Bur-Sin, and that in this year he is succeeded by Aakalla, who then 
 rules to the 7th year of Gimil-Sin. The relation, if any, between 
 these two patesis is nowhere evident. One may then assume that 
 in these two years Ur-'^Negun was absent, for a time, from Umma, 
 and Aakalla in reality was only acting patesi during this absence. 
 The so-called messenger tablets give clear evidence that the patesis 
 were absent at times from their home city, having probably gone 
 on an official mission. (See below.) 
 
 Another instance is that of Urusagpakabdu''' for the 7th year of 
 Bur-Sin. With the exception of this year, Ur-mes is the sole 
 patesi mentioned for this city. On the other hand, this is also the 
 only year for which Nilallum is mentioned, in fact, the only refer- 
 ence to a patesi by this name. As Ur-mes is also patesi for this 
 year, as well as for the preceding and following years, it would 
 seem that Nilallum was but a substitute for a part of this year. 
 
 Again it is seen that Dada was patesi both of Nippur and Umma. 
 A comparison of the years shows that he was patesi of Nippur 
 from the 5th to the 9th years of Gimil-Sin; and of Umma from 
 the 9th year of Gimil-Sin to the 3d of Ibi-Sin. Analogous examples 
 are seen in the case of Kallamu, patesi of Kazallu for the 56th 
 year of Dungi, and patesi of Tupliash from the 57th year of Dungi 
 to the 9th of Bur-Sin; Gudea, patesi of Kutha from the 2d to the 
 8th years of Bur-Sin, and patesi of Lagash from the 8th year of 
 Bur-Sin to the 6th of Gimil-Sin; and Azag-'*Nanna(r), patesi of 
 tJr + u''' for the 6th year of Gimil-Sin, and patesi of Shuruppak 
 from the 6th year of Gimil-Sin to the 2d of Ibi-Sin. These exam- 
 ples seem to clearly prove that a patesi could be transferred from 
 one place to another ; and so unquestionably was subordinate to 
 a higher authority, presumably the king, who for political or purely 
 local reasons could effect the changes. 
 
 The date formulae mention a number of cities that were 
 destroyed or subjugated by the kings of Ur. Four of these are 
 
KEISEK ■ PATBSI8 OF UR DYNASTY n 
 
 found in the present list, namely, Anshan, Huhunuri, Humurti, and 
 Simanum. The texts mentioning the patesis of the first two are 
 undated, so that one is at a loss to know whether they ruled before 
 or after their allegiance to Ur. Humurti was conquered during 
 the last years of Dungi's reign;* while the patesi mentioned in 
 YBT IV 63 : 2 is as late as the 1st year of Grimil-Sin. Thus here 
 also no- direct and definite evidence is available to prove or dis- 
 prove that a conquered city had its chief executive reappointed 
 as patesi or replaced by one more submissive and favorable to the 
 victor. 
 
 However, in the case of Simanum circumstances are somewhat 
 different. Here a patesi is mentioned as early as the 6th year of 
 Bur-Sin {LTD 84: 3-4) ; while the 3d year of Gimil-Sin is desig- 
 nated as "the year when Simanum was destroyed."^ If not too 
 precarious with but this one reference, one may perhaps suppose 
 that here is an instance where a patesi revolted against his king, or 
 had permitted his city to become sufficiently strong and influential 
 as to threaten its continued submission to the capital of the empire. 
 On the other hand, the date formulae give no reference to an earlier 
 conquest of Simanum, and so definitely establish whether this place 
 was or was not under the rule of Ur prior to the 6th year of Bur- 
 Sin, or even the 3d of Gimil-Sin. In either case, the lack of further 
 data seems to leave one conjecture as reasonable as the other. 
 
 As said above, the messenger tablets show that the patesis under- 
 took missions, the character of which unfortunately is not disclosed. 
 Thus, for example, ITT III 677 records the provisions given to 
 Ba, the patesi of Adamdun, for his return to Adamdun; ITT II 
 641 records the provisions given to Abum-ilum, the patesi of 
 Sabum, for his return to Sabum, while in ITT II 868 the same are 
 provided for his journey from Sabum; ITT IV 7592 and RTC 323 
 record the amount allowed for Urkium, the patesi of Susa, for his 
 stay in the city {sag uri) as well as those needed on the way 
 {kaskal-su). Such provisions generally consisted of beer, food, 
 and oil. 
 
 These few examples clearly shoAV that ample provision was made 
 
 *FoT the formulae see CI III 21340; V 18346; VII 12932; etc. 
 °mu Si-ma-numki la-hul (ETC 415; TZ) 5549; etc.). 
 
13 YALE OKIBNTAL SERIES • EESE ARCHES IV-2 
 
 for the rationing of these officials while coming from and returning 
 to their respective cities. Further, these provisions apparently 
 were drawn from the temple storehouses, and would thus seem to 
 indicate that the patesi at these times was on an official mission, 
 either to report to his king, or perhaps fulfil some temple obliga- 
 tion. In a number of instances provisions were given to servants 
 of the patesi [RTC 325, 328 ; TT 200 ; etc.), in which case the pur- 
 pose of the mission may not have been so important, at least did 
 not require the presence of the patesi personally. Whatever the 
 object of these trips, these texts unquestionably prove that the 
 temple resources were at the disposal of the patesi, at least at 
 certain times. 
 
 Other references indicate that the patesi may have been, to a large 
 extent, in the service of the temple. In YBT IV 68 Lugal-melam, 
 the patesi of Nippur, takes in charge (ni-ku) sheep sent by Abba- 
 shagga for the e-es-es-hal; in TD 5494 Habalul, the patesi of Adab, 
 and in LTD 72 Namzitarra, the patesi of Kutha, take in charge 
 sheep supplied for the king; so in YBT IV 76 Nur-'^Dagan, the 
 patesi of Sippar, takes in charge sheep delivered as a tax, from 
 Ur-mes, the patesi of Urusagpakabdu'"'- More especially the func- 
 tions of two oft occurring temple officials, the gir and the pa, are 
 performed by a patesi. In CT VII 18383 Ur-mes, the patesi of 
 Urusagpakabdu''', acts in the capacity of a glr in an account of 
 asses; while in ITT IV 8040 the glr, in an expenditure of gar- 
 ments, is an unnamed patesi; and in UDU 108, an archive label, 
 an unnamed patesi acts as glr in conjunction with another indi- 
 vidual. So in a delivery of silver rings {CT XXXII 103439) the 
 pa is Dada, the patesi of Nippur; and in an account of wool(?) 
 sent from Lagash {HLC II 82) the pa is "^Shara-kam, the patesi 
 of Lagash. 
 
 Another phase of the patesi 's duties is revealed by the so-called 
 sd-ti{l)-la texts, i. e., judicial decisions. In some of these texts*' 
 the name of the patesi is added, while in others'' the names of the 
 judges, who presided over the case, are given. These two exam- 
 ples are no doubt analogous and so indicate that one of the func- 
 
 "See ITT III 6447 for TJru-dNanna(r) patesi of Sabflmki; and ITT II 923, 936, 
 948, etc., for Ur-dLama patesi of Sirpurlaki. 
 ' Bahyloniaca III, p. 110, No. XV; p. 112, No. XVII; ETC 290, 293; etc. 
 
KEISEE • PATESIS OF UR DYNASTY 13 
 
 tions of the office of patesi had a legal aspect ; whether as judge 
 of appeals, supreme judge, or in what capacity is not certain. 
 This idea of the right of decision is still more evident from ITT 
 II 3272, which is an archive label for the sd-ti{l)-la of Ur-<'Lama, 
 patesi, for the 56th year of Dungi, and which proves the existence 
 of special files for such documents, drawn up by the patesis. Two 
 other texts imply the same function : YBT IV 1, in which a patesi 
 summons an individual to the palace apparently to answer a 
 charge against him; and YBT IV 6, where a father takes oath 
 before the patesi with reference to the selling of his son to another. 
 
 On the other hand, a number of texts refer to the payment of 
 taxes (bal) by the patesi. A few examples suffice as proof: TD 
 4691 is an account of the animals supplied by Ituria, the patesi 
 of Tupliash, as his annual tax ; LTD 31 is a record of bullocks and 
 kids, and TBT IV 65 of lambs and goats, as the tax of Arshih, the 
 patesi of Babylon ; RA V, p. 98, AO 3535 is a record of five female 
 slaves as the dues or impost (mas-da-ri-a) of Simhuzia, the patesi 
 of Huhunuri''' ; and TRU 194 is an account of sheep, as the bal of 
 a patesi, for a royal offering. 
 
 Other texts again show that the patesi was not negligent in the 
 performance of his religious duties, nor forgetful of ceremonial 
 observances. Thus in HLC III tablet x an unnamed patesi of 
 Marad supplies a lamb for the sun god; in TD 4682 the patesi of 
 Shuruppak supplies a lamb for the local deity; YBT IV 77 gives 
 an account of the sheep supplied for sacrifice, by Dada, the patesi 
 of Nippur; while LTD 3 gives an account of sheep supplied for 
 various deities, as the bal of Ur-Sin, the patesi of tlr + u^K Of 
 special interest in this connection is YBT IV 74 which is a record 
 of bullocks delivered by the patesis of Babylon, Push, and Tupa 
 for a libation on the day of the destruction of Kimash''', testifying 
 both to the importance and observance of this event. 
 
 As regards the relation of these officials to each other, little can 
 be said. However, from YBT IV 66, which is a record of servants 
 from various patesis serving, as bal for a specified time, the 
 patesi of Umma''' ; and from YBT IV 70, a record of grain given, 
 as a gift, to the king, by the patesi of Umma''' in the name of the 
 patesi of Girsu''', it seems probable, at least possible, that trans- 
 actions or relations of one kind or another, either in a commercial 
 
14 YALE OEIENTAL SEEIES • RESEARCHES IV-2 
 
 way or enforced because of an inequality of rank, existed among 
 the patesis of the different cities. 
 
 To sum up, then, the following theses are proposed : 
 
 1. That there is, with but one exception,^ no evidence of a 
 dynastic succession, i. e., a passing of the office from father to son 
 as in the earlier period, and in the case of kings. 
 
 2. That the office of patesi in this dynasty was very much 
 inferior to that of the time of Eannatum or Gudea. Then he was 
 the supreme ruler ; now he is subordinate to a higher power, and 
 apparently has lost many of the prerogatives and rights enjoyed 
 by his predecessors. 
 
 3. That his appointment to the patesiate of any city is not abso- 
 lute, but that he can be transferred to another place, or perhaps 
 even deposed. 
 
 4. That he is not exempt from paying tithes, and supplying 
 animals for sacrifice. 
 
 5. That he performs functions of temple officials, receives 
 provisions from the temple, and may be closely connected with 
 the temple service. 
 
 6. That he possesses the right of legal decision. 
 
 7. That it is possible that relations, commercial or otherwise, 
 existed between the patesis of the various cities.

 Dungi (BTC 423). Lu-kani is also mentioned as patesi, without the name of the place, 
 in a sd-ti(l)-la text dated in the 4th year of Gimil-Sin (ITT III 5286 I: 7-8). The 
 reference here, however, seems to be rather to an earlier decision by this patesi, as in 
 1. 13 Ur-dLama is also mentioned in the same connection. 
 
 °° Of . also the seal of Ur-dLa/ma dug-gur Uru Lil[-andul?] pa-te-si Sir-pur-laki on a 
 tablet dated in the 42d year of Dungi (ITT IV 7220). 
 
 "Eeisner assigns this tablet to the 26th year of Dimgi (TT p. XI). According to 
 SAKI p. 149 n. 3, Lu-andul belongs between Lu-kani and Ur-dLama I, and was appointed 
 in the 27th year of Dungi. This year, however, seems to be too early, as in A 17 
 Lu-kani is mentioned as late as the 35th year of Dungi. 
 
 "'' Cf. also the seals of scribes, who are the servants (uru) of Ur-dLama, patesi of 
 Lagash, on tablets dated 42 Dungi (ITT IT 7494); 43 Dungi (MTC 420; 421; ITT 
 IV 7152); 46 Dungi (ITT IV 7162; 7264); 48 Dungi (ITT IV 7214). It is to be 
 noted that in ITT IV 7162 and 7264 the date formula omits a-rd S-Tcam, which is then 
 the form for the 17th year of Dimgi. This would place Ur-dLama prior to Lil-kani 
 and indicate that there were three patesis of Lagash by this name. However, with no 
 other reference to definitely prove this, it seems more probable, as Delaporte suggested 
 (ITT IV p. 17 n. 2), to regard this formula as designating the 46th rather than the 
 17th year of Dungi. For the seals on HTC 420 and 421, see also Thureau-Dangin, 
 SAKI p. 148 No. 20; Ward, SWA Fig. 39a p. 24; Heuzey, P.A V p. 139; and CCBN 
 p. XXXII No. 24.

 appendix 1001) ; and regarded by GenouiUac as not the same as Al-la pa-te-si Gir-suki

 I-la-al-pi-el, Til{?){ox Be)-la-qu and [ ]-ma,-su, in undated inscriptions published by 
 Pognon in Le Museon 1892, p. 253, Nos. I, II, III. 
 
 "Genouillac, from Notes d'Epigraphie XXVIII by SeheU, regards this as a year 
 for Ur-dNegun (LTD p. 11). This is further evident from the seals dedicated to 
 Ur-dNegun in the 43d and 45th (see n. 12) years of Dungi; while from UDU 92 he 
 probably was patesi even as early as the 41st year of Dungi. 
 
 " Note the seals of tTr-dNegvm, patesi of Ummaki, on tablets dated 49 Dungi (DACL 
 391) ; 51 Dungi (TBT IV 265) ; 55 Dungi (DACL 157, 160, 163) ; 57 Dungi (YBT 
 IV 86); 58 Dungi (CHU 28); 1 Bur-Sin (DACL 203; YBT IV 164); 2 Bur-Sin 
 (DACL 161) ; 5 Bur-Sin (DACL 177) ; 7 Bur-Sin (DACL 246) ; 8 Bur-Sin (BBM 
 III 44); undated (BBM III 16; YBT IV 141, 142). It is to be noted that in the 
 1st and 2d years of Bur-Sin his seal still has the name of Dungi; while of the undated, 
 BBM III 16 mentions the name of Bur-Sin, and YBT IV 141, 142 that of Dungi. 
 
 Of. also the seals of. individuals, dedicated to Ur-dNegun, patesi of TTmmaki, on tablets 
 dated 43 Dungi (DACL 189; YBT IV 151); 45 Dungi (DACL 188); 48 Dungi 
 (DACL 196; 227); 49 Dungi (DACL 195; 277); 51 Dungi (YBT IV 168); 6 
 Bur-Sin (YBT IV 102, 167); 7 Bur-Sin (YBT IV 315, seal of his son LH-e-mab 
 dup-sar); 3 GimU-Sin (DACL 122); 6 Gimil-Sui (DACL 99, 101); 6-7 Gimil-Sin 
 (DACL 156). From these seals it would seem that Ur-dNegun was patesi of Umma 
 as early as the 43d year of Dungi; see n. 11.

 INDEX TO THE PATESIS 
 
 A-a-kal-la,- A-kal-la, patesi TJmma. 
 A(A)-iil-la-sd, patesi Kazallu'''. 
 A-hu-i-lum, patesi. 
 A-'bu-um-ilum(-lum), patesi Sa- 
 
 A-bu-um-mi-lugal, patesi 8abum''K 
 
 Ai-ba-mu, patesi-gal. 
 A-hu-ma, A-hu-um-ma, patesi Pus'''. 
 A-hu-um-'ba-ni, patesi Eis. 
 Al-la, patesi Lagos. 
 A-mur-^Sim, patesi Tupa. 
 Ar-si-ih, patesi Bdbili. 
 
 '■ CHU 94 is from Uimna, and so Abbamu is perhaps to be identified with this place. 
 Contenau assigns him to TJmma, either before or after Ur-dNegun (CSV p. XVI -XVII). 
 If we connect him with TJmma, then it is evident, from the dates and list (see TJmma), 
 that he belongs before TJr-dNegun. 
 
 "Nies suggests Lagash as the place with which he is to be identified (UDT p. 49). 
 If we regard this tablet as dated in the 52d year of Dungi, then it is possible that 
 Bazi was the acting patesi for TJr-dLama II in this year; but if in the 6th year of 
 Bur-Sin, then we must place him between dgara-kam and tjru-mu. 
 
 ° Earlier than the TJr Dynasty.

 ^GenouiUae identifies him with NaksuH {IB p. 15); but this is not stated in the 
 text. 
 
 " On the seal his title is nn-'banda instead of sakTcanaklcu. This would seem as if 
 these two titles were interchangeable, if not synonymous. An analogous case is found 
 in ITT XV 7125, where the two titles are also used with the same name Ninume: 
 Ni-nu-me sakTcanaklcu and Ni-nu-me nu-handa. In this connection it is further to be 
 noted that in BTC 428 : 4 Bugakum is called the nurianda Sa-hu-umki. 
 
 *Acts as glr with LH-dingir-ra Sahra. Probably he is to be identified with lA-dNan- 
 na{r) sakkanakku Nak-suki, q. v. 
 
 ° Probably to be identified with Susa, as the two texts record provisions given him 
 for journeys to and from this place. 
 
 "He is sent on a mission in the name of the uku-itS-lugal-e-ne (ITT II p. 10).
