message: :The E-Ninnu temple had been razed and a fortress built upon its ruins, in the Greek or Seleucid period, some of the bricks found bearing the inscription in Aramaic and Greek of a certain Hadad-nadin-akhe, king of a small Babylonian kingdom. 
Anyone know where I can get more information on this? --Iustinus 18:58, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm, according to J. Naveh "The Inscriptions from Failaka and the Lapidary Aramaic Script", Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research, No. 297. (Feb., 1995), pp. 1-4, such an inscription was found, but at Telloh (i.e. Girsu), not Tell al-Hiba (i.e. Lagash). In the Greek version, the king's name is Αδαδναδιναχης (cf. this page), in the Aramaic it is הדדנדנאח. The Aramaic version can be found in Corpus Inscriptionum Semeticarum II, #72. It doesn't seem to say where to find the Greek version. --Iustinus 19:31, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: For "Shipurla," here, among other places. In fact, regardless of whether the site is still identified as such, the information that it formerly was should be somewhere on this page, esp. since Sipurla redirects here. -LlywelynII (talk) 07:53, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

text: Hm... also, checked the Oxford site. It was there if you clicked through to their link for the composition of the ideograms. -LlywelynII (talk) 08:10, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Somehow, at some point, this article was filled out with information which ACTUALLY
refered to Tello Ngirsu. I fixed the archaeology section to contain the Lagash
info. The History and Political History sections still need to be TOTALLY redone.

replies: text: So, I returned to clean out and fix a bunch of the 1911 stuff, which was wrong, not surprising since Lagash wasn't even found until circa 1970. Did some general fixup too, though more is needed.Ploversegg (talk) 22:21, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

message: What is the source for the names in the lists of the two dynasties of Lagash as they currently appear? Even comparing the first dynasty against the names in the Sumerian text The rulers of Lagash, I find some names listed there not included & names listed here not included. -- llywrch (talk) 22:42, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
