[6] Another confusion about his identity arose due to the fact that Ammitakum, king of Alalakh's son and heir was also named Hammurabi.
Ammitakum appointed his son as his successor in the presence of Yarim-Lim III,[7] the Hittite texts in connection to the Aleppan wars mentions Yarim-Lim III as the king of Aleppo, also they mentions Hammurabi of Aleppo, son of a king whose name is destroyed.
[9] Hattusili I conducted a series of destructive campaigns against Aleppo and its vassals during the reign of Yarim-Lim III.

[14] The Hittite texts mentions that the king of Aleppo was captured and made atonement to Mursili.
