Anonymous Nippur 04 (FAOS 05/2, AnNip 04)

A votive dedication to Nintinuga, goddess of healing, from ~2450 BCE Nippur — attesting her cult and the practice of consecrated vessel offerings a century before Sargon unified Mesopotamia.

Anonymous Nippur 05 (FAOS 05/2, AnNip 05)

A child of a Nippur ruler dedicates a votive vessel circa 2450 BCE, attesting the practice of elite dynastic piety through object dedication in the Early Dynastic temple economy.

Anonymous Nippur 57 (FAOS 05/2, AnNip 57)

A Nippur dedicatory inscription naming Ĝirini and her husband Lugal-lu: one of the rare Early Dynastic texts that preserves a private person's cultic relationship with Ninlil outside the royal sphere.

Anonymous Nippur 60 (FAOS 05/2, AnNip 60)

Anonymous Ur 17 (FAOS 05/2, AnUr 17)

A fragmentary Early Dynastic royal inscription from the Lagash-Ur-Uruk orbit, attesting the competitive temple-building rhetoric by which Sumerian rulers legitimised dynastic succession ca. 2450 BCE.

Anonymous Ur 23 (FAOS 05/2, AnUr 23)

One of the fragmentary Early Dynastic royal inscriptions from the Lagash-Ur-Uruk cluster, preserving a Suen-invocation formula that documents the lunar god's role in legitimising kingship two centuries before Akkadian unification.

Anonymous Uruk 2 (FAOS 05/2, AnUruk 02)

Votive dedication by a ruler claiming joint kingship over Uruk and Ur attests the practice of dual-city titulature in the Early Dynastic III period, before such formulas were standardised under later imperial regimes.
