En-hegal, also Enhengal (Sumerian: 𒂗𒃶𒅅, en-ḫe₂-ŋal₂), was possibly an ancient ruler of the Sumerian city-state of Lagash.[1] Only one inscription mentioning him is known, the "Tablet of En-hegal", describing a business transaction.[2][3] If indeed a king of Lagash, it is estimated he would have ruled circa 2570 BCE.[4][5]
Lugalshaengur was governor of Lagash, circa 2600 BCE.
The tablet with his name describes a business transaction, in which a possible King En-hegal buys land.[6] He seems to have purchased about 1,000 hectares of land.[7] A tentative translation of the tablet was published by George A. Barton.[2]
The Tablet of En-hegal records major land transcations by King En-hegal.[2]
Inscription "For Enhegal King of Lagash", with transcription in standard Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform (𒂗𒃶𒅅 𒈗𒂠 𒉢𒁓𒆷, En-hegal Lugal še Lagash).[2]
