City Number of Kings Total Years Ruled
Kic (Kish)
- Fourth Dynasty
8
7 kings for 491 years.
Other manuscripts have 485 years.
Other manuscripts have 8 kings for 586 years

    Here I counted 506 ruling years with a variation for 511 years for 8 kings.    Kish king number 2, Ur-Zababa, for some reason ruled for 400 years, but other manuscripts claim it is 4 years, with 131 are years of Kug-Bau.    If it is 4 years, that brings the ruling years down to about 110 years, which is more in line with the dating of 2381-2268 B.C., at 113 years.
