BIRYAWAZA

'Biryawaza' was king of Damascus in the mid fourteenth century BC. In the Amarna letters, he was ordered by his Egyptian overlords to take armed action against Labaya's sons (EA 250).
The name ''Biryawaza'' is Indo-European in origin. Biryawaza may have been of an Indo-European maryannu caste similar to that which ruled the Mitanni and later, the Hittites.
