Ensi (English spelling)

Japanese: エンシ(英語表記)ensi
Ensi (English spelling)
A title given to rulers in the Sumerian city-states of ancient Mesopotamia. It is translated as prince. Formerly called Ishaq or Pateshi. In ancient times, it seems to have meant the head of the temple and secular ruler, but a trade document from Lagash at the end of the Early Dynastic period states that "Entemena is the secular Ensi, and Enentarji is the priest of the god Ningirsu." Ur-ka-gina, who aspired to political reform, and Gudea (c. 21st century BC), who left many statues, were the most famous Ensi.

古代メソポタミアのシュメール都市国家における支配者の称号の一つ。君侯と訳される。かつてはイシャック,あるいはパテシと呼ばれた。古くは神殿の長および世俗の支配者を意味していたようであるが,初期王朝時代末期のラガシュの商業文書では「エンテメナは世俗のエンシであり,エンエンタルジはニンギルス神の神官である」と書かれている。政治改革を志したウル=カ=ギナや多くの彫像を残したグデア (前 21世紀頃) は最も有名なエンシであった。
