En-tarah-ana of Kish was the fourth Sumerian king in the First Dynasty of Kish, according to the Sumerian king list.[1] The Weld-Blundell Prism was damaged at this point, so Thorkild Jacobsen had restored this ruler's name as Bahina.[2] En-tarah-ana is unlikely to have existed as his name does not appear on texts dating from the period in which he was presumed to have lived (Early Dynastic period).[3] He is awarded a reign of 420 years, 3 months, and 3+1⁄2 days. Why the length of his reign is so specific compared to the recorded lengths of the other kings of the Early Dynastic is unknown.
