Lugalannatum is known from a deposit tablet, now in the Louvre Museum, in which he mentions the rule of Si'um, king of the Gutians.[3][2] The tablet was first published in 1911, and first revealed the existence of a Gutian dynasty of Sumer.[1][4] The tablet is written in the Akkadian language following the influence of the former Akkadian Empire, and uses Sumerian cuneiform characters for their phonetical value.[2] It reads:

The name of the Temple, previously thought to be "Γ PA Temple", is now understood as being "Scepter Temple", and read E.GIDRU.[2]
The text shows the allegiance of Lugalannatum, as simple Governor of Umma, towards the Gutian king of Sumer.[5]
There is also an inscription by Lugalannatum, dedicated to the life of Urgigir.[6]
