History
Illubru is a city in the western part of Que (kingdom) or in Hilakku that is mentioned in inscriptions of the Assyrian king Sennacherib (r. 704-681 BC). This site is generally connected with classical Lampron, which is likely to be identified with modern Namrun, ca. 20 km northwest of Tarsus.
