YANTIN

(fl. 1735 BC)

Ruler of Byblos. Son of Yakin. He is attested on a relief dated to Neferhotep I. He uses an Egyptian title implying Egypt’s sovereignty over Byblos. He may be identified with Yantinammu, ruler of Byblos, and his father with Yakin-ilu, a contemporary of an earlier Egyptian ruler, Sehetepibre.
