Zariqum

Zariqum was a Sumerian governor (ensí) during the Ur-III era.

Beginning in the 40th year of Shulgi, he was ensi of Susa in Elam. In the reign of Shulgi's successor, Amar-Sin, he became ensi of Ashur. In Amar-Sin's 5th year, Zariqum was again transferred to become governor of Susa; he remained there until Shu-Sin's 4th year.

The Assyrian king list does not include his name. It is thought that he is to be placed somewhere before Puzur-Ashur I, and possibly following Akiya.
