What is "hadad-yith'i"

Hadad-yith'i (Adad-it'i, Hadd-yith'i) was governor of the land of Guzana located in northern Syria (c. 850 B.C.E.) He was the son of Sassu-nuri, who was also the governor of the land of Guzana. Knowledge of Hadad-yith'i's rule comes largely from the statue found at the Tell el Fakhariya. The carving known as the Tell el Fakhariya bilingual inscription provides information about his reign. During this time, Guzana was a vassal to Assyria making Hadad-yith'i the governor of Guzana, however to the local people of Guzana he was their king, thus making his role a dual status.
