Sanatruq I

Sanatruq I (Hatran Aramaic: 𐣮𐣭𐣨𐣣𐣥𐣲) was a king of Hatra, an ancient city in nowadays Iraq. He is known from more than 20 inscriptions found at Hatra and reigned from about AD 140 to 180. Only one of his inscriptions is dated (year 176/177). He was the son of Naṣru who reigned from about AD 128 to 140.[1] He was one of the first rulers of Hatra calling himself 𐣬𐣫𐣪 mlk (king), but he bears also the title 𐣬𐣣𐣩𐣠 mry' (administrator).[2] Both titles are also attested for his brother Vologash or Wolgash. It is unclear whether they both reigned together and took of the title king of Arabs .[1] His son and successor was Abdsamiya.
