Apiashal

Apiashal was according to the Assyrian King List (AKL) the 17th Assyrian monarch, ruling in Assyria's early period during the 21st century BC.

He has been listed within the section of the AKL as the last of whom, "altogether seventeen kings, tent dwellers." In keeping with this assumption, scholars have inferred that the original form of the Assyrian King List had been written (among other things) as an, “attempt to justify that Šamši-Adad I was a legitimate ruler of the city-state Aššur and to obscure his non-Assyrian antecedents by incorporating his ancestors into a native Assyrian genealogy.”
