Labinetus

Labinetus or Labynetus is a name that probably refers to the kings of the Chaldean dynasty in general. The Hellenized form of the name occurs only in Herodotus' Histories.
According to the Greek historian Herodotus, Syennesis I of Cilicia and Labynetus of Babylon negotiated a peace treaty between the king Alyattes of Lydia and the king Cyaxares of Media.
Labynetus is believed to be Herodotus' way of writing Nabonidus' name. Therefore, it is likely that Labynetus was the later king of the Babylonian Empire, Nabonidus. The solar eclipse can be dated to May 28, 585 BCE. It is also possible that the Labynetus mentioned by Herodotus is identical with Nebuchadnezzar II. This is far from certain, but it is likely that the Babylonians, who had now conquered the west, were interested in Anatolia, where iron was to be obtained. At the same time, Nebuchadnezzar appears to have had more or less friendly relations with the mountain tribes. There is also another chronology that places the Battle of Halys in the year 610 BCE. If it is correct, Labynetus can be identified with Nabopolassar.
