Simat-Ištaran

Simat-Ištaran (also Šāt-Eštar) was a daughter of a king of the Ur-III Dynasty at the end of the third millennium BC.

It is uncertain exactly which Ur III ruler was her father though Shulgi, Shu-Sin and even Amar-Sin have been suggested.

According to those texts she was married to the general and physician Ŝu-Kabta.

This marriage documents how the Ur-III Dynasty kings married family members to various important people in the empire.

[2] After the death of her husband, Simat-Ištaran inherited his estate and continued to manage it alone.
