| King of Elam | |
 The Awan King List. Hishep-ratep appears as the ninth ruler on this document. | |
| Reign | c. 2300 BCE |
| Predecessor | Luh-ishan or Kikku-siwe-temti |
| Successor | Luh-ishan, or Rimush as King of the Akkadian Empire, or Helu (as evidenced on the Awan King List) |
| Issue | Luh-ishan |
| Dynasty | Awan |
Hishep-ratep, the ninth name on the Awan king list, identified as Hishep-rashini (Hišibrašini) in Akkadian inscriptions, was a king of Elam belonging to the Awan Dynasty.[1]
King of Elam
editHishep-ratep, if he is to be identified with Hishep-rashini, was the father of Luh-ishan. According to an inscription of Sargon of Akkad, who conquered Elam shortly after the reign of Hishep-ratep, lists the rulers he defeated, including Luh-ishan, "son of Hishep-rashini." [1]
The succession of Hishep-Ratep is uncertain, the Awan King List states that Luh-ishan was succeeded by Hishep-Ratep, however, if he and Hishep-rashini are to be identified, then the opposite is the case. The Awan King List states that Helu succeeded Hishep-ratep, however it was likely an indirect connection.
