Lubarna II
Lubarna II (or Labarna II) was the ruler of the Syro-Hittite state of Pattin, also called Unqi, until 831, or 829 BC. The name Lubarna was the Luwian iteration of the Hittite royal title "Labarna," which was held by the kings of the Hittite Empire. Thus, Lubarna's name seems to hearken back to the power of the Hittites in the Bronze Age. There was an earlier Pattinite king who had this regnal name, contemporary to Ashurnasirpal II of Assyria. Pattin, during the time of Lubarna, was a tributary to the Neo-Assyrian Empire. Lubarna's apparent predecessor, Halparuntiya II, sent tribute to the Assyrian Great King, Shalmaneser III Shalmaneser III (''Šulmānu-ašarēdu'', "the god Shulmanu is pre-eminent") was king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire from 859 BC to 824 BC.

Syro-Hittite States
The states called Neo-Hittite, Syro-Hittite (in older literature), or Luwian-Aramean (in modern scholarly works) were Luwian and Aramean regional polities of the Iron Age, situated in southeastern parts of modern Turkey and northwestern parts of modern Syria, known in ancient times as lands of Hatti and Aram. They arose following the collapse of the Hittite New Kingdom in the 12th century BCE, and lasted until they were subdued by the Assyrian Empire in the 8th century BCE. They are grouped together by scholars, on the basis of several cultural criteria, that are recognized as similar and mutually shared between both societies, northern ( Luwian) and southern ( Aramaean). Cultural exchange between those societies is seen as a specific regional phenomenon, particularly in light of significant linguistic distinctions between the two main regional languages, with Luwian belonging to the Anatolian group of Indo-European languages and Aramaic belonging to the Northwest Semitic gr ...
