Scan for the British Museum.“Statue of Idrimi, king of Alalakh; carved magnesite with glass eyes set into the eye-sockets; glass heavily weathered; inscription.A note tells how Idrimi caused the statue to be made and inscribed after he had been king for thirty years; the inscription is an autobiography; after a family dispute in Aleppo, Idrimi’s inheritance forced him to flee to Emar and from there to take refuge among nomads in Canaan; here, he gathered troops and, his brothers being reconciled with him, made a treaty with the king of Umman-Manda; Idrimi was recognised as king and head of a coalition; a successful raid on the Hittites was followed by the reconquest of Alalakh; the inscription ends with curses on any who would desecrate the statue and blessings on those who would honour it. Sharruwa the scribe claims authorship of the inscription.” ~ http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=368128&partId=1&searchText=idrimi&page=1
