Aplahanda

Aplahanda was a king of Carchemish proposed to have reigned between 1786 and 1766 BCE. He was first known from a cylinder seal translated by Rene Dussaud in 1929. The seal was found at the base of the mound of Ugarit before excavations began. He is also found mentioned in the Mari tablets, reigning at the same time as and Zimri-Lim, by whom he is addressed as a brother. His name was suggested to be Amorite by I. J. Gelb and the hypothesis of a semitic origin was supported by Wilfred G. Lambert. He was allied with Shamshi-Adad in a war against Aleppo that was unsuccessful.
