From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At the beginning of 3rd dynasty of Ur, Sirara ( Sumerian: 𒌓𒈣𒀏𒆠𒋳 SIRARA6) was a temple complex in Lagash - it may also (or instead) have been a city as mentioned in The Royal Chronicle of Lagaš. [1] It has been suggested that the city-state known as Sirara was also called Nina or Nimin, which was probably a seaport. [2]
