In a dream which the gods send to Gudea, he sees among other things, a goddess, whose name may be read Nisaba or Nidaba. Ninâ, who interprets the dream to the ruler of Shirpurla, declares that Nisaba is her sister. In a text belonging to a still earlier age, the deity is mentioned as the begetter of a king whose name is read Lugal-zaggisi.
