==Biography== Ninšatapada was a princess from the Old Babylonian dynasty of Uruk. Her father was Sîn-kāšid, who reigned over this city in the nineteenth century BCE. She was most likely born when he was still young, in the third quarter of said century. Since no information about her grandfather is known, and her father originally served as the governor (šakkanakkum) of Durum, which was fortified by Ishme-Dagan, it has been suggested that her family might have hailed from Isin.
