Where did "Jushur" come from? Consulting Thorkild Jacobsen's The Sumerian King List, the best text he had at hand was damaged at this point, & Jacobsen could only suggest a reading "gá (?)-[..]-ùr". Although his edition is considered definitive, & is still frequently cited, he published it in 1939 & undoubtedly much has been learned since. William W. Hallo published in 1963 another text that partly fills this gap & based on it suggests "(giš-)gán-ùr" as the monarch's name. So far nothing that confirms the name. The translation in Ancient Near Eastern Texts (3rd ed., 1970) repeats Jacobsen's reading. The best I can come up with is the reading "Jucur" in this translation of the Sumerian King List, which might be based on the text in Claudine-Adrienne Vincente, "The Tall Leilan Recension of the Sumerian King List", Zeitschrift für Assyriologie, 50 (1995), 234-270. But until that possibility is checked out, "Jushur" is likely no more than someone's fabrication, & even if it verifies this reading, can be dismissed as a lucky guess because no source was provided for this fact. -- llywrch (talk) 03:56, 11 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
