N2 - The article discusses the background of the appellations "all Aram" and "Upper and Lower Aram" in the Sefîre stele and in the title, "King of Aram" in the Melqart stele. I suggest that "Arpad" and "all Aram" refer to the two major socio-cultural components of the kingdom and illuminate its society's dimorphic structure. Moreover, I posit that the spatial merisms in the treaty refer to areas located outside Arpad, in the territories of its neighbouring kingdoms.
