Akhlane

Akhlane (Akhlamu) An ancient Semitic nomadic group in northern Syria, named the enemies of the Assyrians. In  the  reign  of  Akhenaten (Amenhotep  IV, 1353-1335  B.C.E.),  the  Akhlane  appear  in  the  Egyptian agreement  noted  today  as  the  Amarna Letters. They are drawn as a vigorous clan on the Euphrates River and in the area of the Persian Gulf. The Assyrians, who  found  them  a  formidable  foe,  named  them  the Akhlamu-Aramaeans.  The  Akhlane  disappeared  shortly after Akhenatens prevail, perchance absorbed into other civilizations or renamed in later historical periods.
