Kullassina-bel of
Sumerian king list, which adds that he reigned for 960 years (or 900 in some copies).[1]
As the name seems to be an Akkadian phrase meaning "All(kullat) of them(šina) (were) lord(bēl)", it has sometimes been suggested that the occurrence of this name on the list was intended to denote a period of no central authority in the early period of Kish.[2]
An alternative translation of the name is "Lord(bēl) of all(kullat) of them [the women](šina)".
