OB Sumerian lagarx, spelled SAL.^UB rather than DILMUN, is deflned äs a synonym of sukkal, "vizier", and appears to be the missing EG form corresponding to ES la-bar, l i -biir = sukkallu, ardu. The ES forme la-bar , l i -bii r do correspond not only to EG lagarx, but also to EG lagar, nimgir , and possibly l u k u r and nu-bar . In the third millennium lagarx and sukkal may have denoted difierent officials.
