The term ḫyr ʾsdn appears to be a sort of title. The royal family evidently had special connections with the ʾAsad clan (...). It is significant that RBŠMS [who bears this title, A.M.] is not so designated during the reign of ʾLRM YDM. An explanation of this which suggests itself is that possibly the term was a title born only by the king's nearest brother - supposing that ʾLRYM YDM, YDʿʾB ĠYLN, and RBŠMS were respectively first, second, and third in order of succession.
