From about 2500 to 2350 B.C.the Sumerian city-states of Lagash and Umma contested the right to a tract of land on their common border. Their dispute is documented by a series of inscriptions filled with claims and counterclaims. This volume makes available for the first time complete English translations of all documents relevant to these events.
