In regard to previous information,

"Cuneiform clay tablet with a legal case for the right of Niqmepa, the king of Alalakh, to the kingship of Hanigalbat. Ref:131452"

this is obvious nonsense; Niqmepa never had any "right" to the kingship of Hanigalbat. Besides, the registration number was changed, so this was a deadlink. Now this artefact has been relabelled as AlT 016 (P452244);

The actual info about this tablet is as follows.

This is tablet AlT 16 from Alalah involving a legal case before Niqmepa, king of Alalah, regarding two individuals, Ilim-Ilimma and Tulpure.
