Petrie, William M. Flinders: Syria and Egypt from the Tell el Amarna letters (London, 1898)

no THE NORTH SYRIAN WAR

This Khamuniri or Amunira was, as we
see in letters 216-218, the Egyptian
governor of Beyrut, to whom Ribaddi was
soon obliged to flee for refuge.

(209) RIBADDI to AMANAPPA. Asks for
300 men to defend Gubla and to occupy
Biruna, so that people may abandon
Abdashirta. (W. 68.)

(210) RIBADDI to the king. Aziru has taken

all but Gubla. (W. 103.)

This taking of all the cities evidently
does not include Beyrut, because that did
not belong to Ribaddi, but was under its
Egyptian governor, Amunira; but all of
Ribaddi's cities were lost except Gubla.
At last he fled to Beyrut for shelter, though
he finally managed to get back to Gubla,
and there he disappeared from sight.

30. Ribaddi i?i Beyrut.
We read from Beyrut:—

(211) RIBADDI to the king. Abdashirta has
taken all but two cities. In Gubla he was
like a bird caught in a net, and he is now
in Biruna. (W. 62.)

(212) RIBADDI to the king. Only Biruna is
left Names the Khatti. Namiawaza fears
the king. Names prince of Kumidi.

(W. 63.)
