i32 THE SOUTH SYRIAN WAR

join against men of Gina, who killed their
father, or else they would fight him. Asks
that an officer be sent to Namyawaza to
order him to fight the sons of Lapaya.
They ask A. to fight the king, as Lapaya
did when he besieged Shuna . ., and

Bur....., and Kharabu, and Gitirimu . . .

Messengers of Milkili also stir rebellion.

(W. 164; R.P. xvii. 83.)

The places named here seem to belong
to the Joppa region; Shuna . . . may be
Shunama; Kharabu, El Khurab; and
Gitirimu . . . Gathrimmon. This shows
that Lapaya probably took Joppa. We
see here how Namyawaza has drifted down
into the southern seat of war, like so many
other of the northern fighters, Arzawaya,
Pakhura, Maia, Rianappa, &c. This shows
that the southern war succeeded the northern,
and was, probably, a sort of running fight
from the Orontes down to the Egyptian
frontier.

Addu-daian was another personage about
this time, but his locality is unknown.

(258) [ADDUJDAIAN to the king. Defends his

city. (W. 275.)

(259) ADDU-DAIAN to the king. Names

Yab .... and Kaya . . . . ; asks for 30
men, and will come to Egypt. (W. 240.)
