ENMEDURANKI.
"The hero who binds together heaven and earth."
ENMEDURANKI. A name borne by a mythical king of Sippar, who has long been recognized as
the original of Berossus' seventh antediluvian king, Euedorakhos, which
see. (Legends of Babylon and Egypt, King, 1918).
... Another possible derivation
may be found in a suggestion made by more than one scholar that the
Euedorochos of Berossos (a name which in his list is found in place of
Enoch) is a corruption of Enmeduranki, who is said in a ritual text to
have been king of Sippar. In the king-lists the dynasties of Kish
and Agade (the older name of Sippar) are counted the same.
Enmeduranki, like Etana, was, accordingly, a king of Kish.
Enmeduranki means "the hero who binds together heaven and
earth", and was a most appropriate epithet of Etana. One may
hazard the guess that the two were the same. If so, the name Enoch
may have been derived in accord with the phonetic laws already pointed
out, from AN-KI, the Sumerian for "heaven and earth", the last
two elements of Enmeduranki. (Journal of Biblical Literature,
v.34, 1914)
