Yidya


Yidya, and also Idiya, was the mayor/ruler of ancient Ašqaluna/Ashkelon in the 1350-1335 BC Amarna letters correspondence.

Yidya is mainly referenced in the Amarna letters corpus, in his own letters: EA 320–326, (EA for 'el Amarna'). However, the other reference to Yidya is a letter from the pharaoh to his vassal Yidya, letter EA 370.

The titles of Yidya's letters are as follows:


See: Amarna letters–phrases and quotations, for the phrasing: "the king is Hale like the Sun"..., for long form (like this), and short form.
