context_page_description: Nin-kisalsi was a Sumerian ruler of the Mesopotamian city of Adab in the mid-3rd millennium BCE, probably circa 2600 BCE.
  His name does not appear in the Sumerian King List, but he is known from one inscription bearing his name. The inscription, on a bowl fragment, reads:
  𒈨𒁲 𒈗𒆧𒆠/ 𒂍𒊬 𒁓 𒈬𒄄 / 𒎏𒆦𒋛} 𒑐𒋼𒋛 𒌓𒉣
  me-silim lugal kisz e2-sar bur mu-gi4 nin-KISAL-si ensix adab
  "Me-silim, king of Kish, to the Esar temple sent over bowl. Nin-KISALsi, the governor of Adab."
  — Inscription of Mesilim mentioning Nin-Kisalsi
  It appears from this inscription that King Mesilim of Kish was contemporary with Nin-kisalsi and probably his suzerain. Another such ruler is Lugalshaengur, Governor of Lagash, who also appears in inscriptions as a vassal of Mesilim.
