Eshpum
Eshpum (𒀹𒅗 esh18-pum, formerly read Geba; died c. 2255 BC) was an Akkadian Governor of Elam around 2269–2255 BC.
In the Akkadian Empire he was a vassal of king Manishtushu.
While Eshpum was in charge of Elam, another Governor of Manistushu named Ilshu-rabi was in charge of Pashime, in the coastal area.
An archaic statue of an orant is known, which was re-dedicated about 500 years later by Eshpum. It reads:
𒈠𒀭𒅖𒌅𒋢 / 𒈗 / 𒆧 / 𒀹𒅗 / 𒀵𒋢 / 𒀀𒈾 / 𒀭𒈾𒊒𒋾 / 𒀀𒈬𒈾𒊒
"ma-an-isz-tu-su / lugal / kish / esh18-pum / ARAD2-su / a-na / {d}na-ru-ti / a mu-na-ru
For Manishtushu king of Kish, Eshpum his servant, dedicated this statue to Narundi"
— Inscription of Eshpum on the statue of the orant. Louvre Museum Sb 82.
Another inscription of Eshpum is known, which reads "Eshpum, Governor of Elam" (𒀹𒅗 𒑐𒋼𒋛 𒉏𒈠𒆠 esz18-pum ensi2 elam{ki}).
