Abdsamiya
Abdsamiya (Hatran Aramaic: 𐣯𐣡𐣣𐣮𐣬𐣩𐣠) was a king of Hatra, an ancient city and kingdom in ancient Mesopotamia (Iraq). He reigned from about AD 180 to 205. Abdsamiya was the son of king Sanatruq I and the father of Sanatruq II. Abdsamiya is known from eight inscriptions found at Hatra. One of them reports the building of a porticus for the king and is dated to year 504 of the Seleucid era (AD 192/93). Another inscription appears on a statue and is dated to AD 201/202. Abdsamiya is most likely also mentioned by Herodian (3.1.3).[1] There he appears as Barsemias. He supported in year AD 192 Pescennius Niger against Septimius Severus.

gollark: PotatOS actually had termination completely broken for... probably a few months... and somehow I didn't notice for ages and neither did anyone else.
gollark: What if they just terminate it?
gollark: 8!? Wow, that's 40320.
gollark: But I just had you factorize a number instead, as a basic test of "ability to solve simple problems using a computer".
