Reign
editIbiranu 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]
