Nin-kisalsi

Nin-kisalsi (Sumerian: 𒎏𒆦𒋛; fl.c. 2500 BC) was a Sumerian ruler of the Mesopotamian city of Adab in the mid-3rd millennium BC.

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(GAR.PA.TE.SI) adab
"Me-silim, king of Kish, to the Esar temple sent over (this) bowl (for the burgi ritual). Nin-KISALsi, (was) the governor of Adab."

— Inscription of Mesilim mentioning Nin-Kisalsi

It appears from this inscription that King Mesilim of Kish was a 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.
