Ibiranu (reigned c. 1235 BC – c. 1225/20 BC) was the sixth king of Ugarit, a city-state in northwestern Syria.[1]

Reign

[edit | edit source]

Ibiranu reigned between c. 1235 and 1225/20 BC, and was a contemporary of Tudhaliya IV and Arnuwanda III of Hatti. As a vassal state of Hatti the king was answerable to the viceroy at Carchemish.[2][3][4]

Gordon (1956) suggested Ibiranu meant "horsemen" composed of ibr and the suffix -ân.[5]
