He succeed Enannatum II who only had a short reign and was the last representative of the house of Ur-Nanshe.[7][8] It seems that the power of Lagash waned at this point, and that other territories such as Umma ("Gishban") and Kish prevailed.[9]
Enentarzi probably ruled for at least 4 years.[6]
An inscription records that 600
Elamites came to plunder Lagash during the rule of Enentarzi, but that they were repelled.[10]
He was succeeded by another priest named Enlitarzi, and then his son Lugalanda.[6]
