E-iginimpa'e was ruler of Adab, circa 2500 BCE.

E-iginimpa'e (Sumerian: ๐’‚๐’…†๐’‰๐’‰บ๐’Œ“๐’บ, e2-igi-nim-pa-e3) was a Sumerian ruler (ensi) of the Mesopotamian city of Adab in the mid-3rd millennium BCE, probably circa 2400 BCE.[2] He succeeded another ensi known as Mugsi.[3][4]

He is known from several inscriptions, most of them located in the Oriental Institute Museum, Chicago, with one tablet in the State Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg.[5][6] He was a contemporary of Lugal-zage-si as several land transactions are recorded between the two.[2]

One of his tablets reads, dedicated to goddess Digirmah or Ensimah (๐’€ญ๐’ˆค, equivalent of Martu) reads:[7]

๐’€ญ๐’ˆค ๐’‚๐’…†๐’‰๐’‰บ๐’Œ“๐’บ ๐’ƒป๐’‘๐’‹ผ๐’‹› ๐’Œ“๐’‰ฃ๐’†  ๐’‚๐’ˆค ๐’ˆฌ๐’ˆพ๐’†• ๐’Œซ๐’‰๐’† ๐’‚  ๐’‹ผ๐’€๐’‹›
