Urzigurumaš

Urzigurumaš (also Urzigurumasch, Urzigurumas; reading uncertain, ^m UR-zi-U-maš or Ur-ši-gu-ru-maš) was the 6th ruler of the Kassite dynasty of Babylon according to the King List A and the synchronistic King List . He was the father of Agum-kakrime . Cassin assumes that the next two rulers after him, Ḫarba-Šipak or Ḫurbazum and Tiptakzi (Šiptaʾulzi), were his brothers who act as regents for his son Agim-kakrime .
