About this person

Unlike the rest of the list, this section is written in reverse order - starting with 'Aminu' and ending with 'Apiashal,' described as 'altogether ten kings who are ancestors"" - and has often been interpreted as the list of ancestors of the Amorite Šamši-Adad I who had conquered the city-state of Aššur. The AKL also states that Yakmesi had been both the son and successor of Ilu-Mer. Additionally, the AKL states that Yakmesi had been both the predecessor and father of Yakmeni.
