Three fragmentary inscriptions are to be added to the well-known Aramaic inscription of King Zakkur of Hamath and Luʿash (around 790–80 B.C.E.) found at Tell Afis in 1903 by Henri Pognon. They confirm that Afis was Hatarikka/Hazrak, besieged by a coalition of sixteen rulers, and led by Barhadad, king of Damascus. The first fragmentary inscription mentions Hazael, quite probably a predecessor of Barhadad. The second inscription, on the handle of an amphora, preserves a personal name, perhaps of Phoenician origin. The third fragment has the god's name El-wer, also attested to in the Zakkur stele as the main deity of Hazrak
