Person
Rib-Hadda
Rib-Hadda was king of Byblos in the mid-14th century BCE and the most prolific author among the Amarna letters, writing dozens of appeals to the Egyptian pharaohs Amenhotep III and Akhenaten. He complained of the advance of Abdi-Ashirta and Aziru of Amurru and of the Habiru, but received little help. Driven out of Byblos by a revolt, he took refuge in Beirut, and his end is unknown.
