2. Ispuinis--Son of Sarduris, 825-812 B.C., mentioned in his own inscriptions, styled himself King of Nairi of Soura (Northern Syria), inhabiting the city of Dhuspas. 3. Menuas--Son of Ispuinis, “may be regarded as the founder of the original garden city of Van.” He calls himself the great King of Biania, inhabiting the city of Dhuspas (Van). 4. Argistis--his son--Numerous inscriptions of his are found as far north as Alexandropol--He described his conquests of the Assyrians southeast of Lake Urumia. Lynch thinks “He was the founder of the City of Armanir in the valley of the Araxes.” 5. Sarduris II--Son of Argistis--His numerous inscriptions are scattered over a large area of the country as far as Malatia. He probably reigned from 754-727 B.C. He is called the King of Urardhu in the Assyrian inscriptions. 6. Rusas--his son. He has at least two important inscriptions. He came in contact with Sargon, the King of Assyria (722-705 B.C.) 7. Argistis II--Son of Rusas. The mention of this ruler in a Vannic text was discovered by Messrs. Beliek and Lehman in an inscription on a shield in the temple at Tobrak Kala, near Van; now in the British Museum. 8. Rusas II--The son of the above. He is mentioned on the shield above mentioned, and also in two new inscriptions found by Dr. Belek, in which it is told that he conquered the Hittites and Moschians. He was a contemporary of Esarhaddon of Assyria (681-668 B.C.). 9. Erimenas--He is mentioned in an inscription on the shield as the father of Rusas III. 10. Rusas III--He rebuilt the temple of Khaldis (god) on the Tobrak Kala. An inscription of this king has been found at Armauir. 11. Sarduris III--He is known through the Assyrian inscriptions as having sent an embassy an embassy to Ashur-Bani-Pal for a treaty of peace, about 644 B.C.[17] The succession of the kings of this dynasty has been recently corrected by inscriptions discovered by Drs. Belek and Lehmann. They put (1) Lutipris, (2) Sarduris I, (3) Arame, (4) Sarduris II.... They suppose a Sarduris II, the son of Arame, as the antagonist of Shalmaneser II, and suggest that Sarduris I was a contemporary of Ashur-Naser-Pal II (885-860 B.C.).
