Person
Mati'ilu
Mati'ilu was the last independent king of Arpad, the Aramaean state of Bit-Agusi in northern Syria, in the mid-8th century BCE. He made a treaty with Ashur-nirari V of Assyria and another, preserved on the Aramaic Sefire steles, with Bar-Ga'yah of KTK. He later joined an alliance led by Urartu, and Tiglath-pileser III besieged Arpad and annexed it in 740 BCE.
