Entemena, another governor of Lagash, places his domain under the protection of Nin-khar-sag.

The worship at Nippur, however, remained most prominent.

The continued popularity of her cult is attested by the fortress Dur-zakar, which a later king, Samsu-iluna (_c._ 2200), erected in her honor.
Nin-girsu.
In the inscriptions of Gudea and of his time, the god most prominently mentioned is the "Lord of Girsu." Girsu itself, as the inscriptions show, is one of the four sections into which the capitol city of Lagash was divided.

It was there that the temple stood which was sacred to the patron deity, and we may conclude from this that Girsu is the oldest part of the city.

Afterwards, Lagash became the general name for the capitol through being the quarter where the great palace of the king was erected.
