It is mentioned several times in the documents found in Mari. Andarig was one of the largest and most powerful kingdoms in the region. It was the most important holding of the Amorite Yamutbal tribe.

== Qarni-Lim == Qarni-Lim was the first known King of Andarig, who ruled from 1770–1766 B.C.E. He conquered Apum, and put his son Zuzu in charge of it, although Zuzu died shortly after falling off the city wall. After that, Qarni-Lim lost Apum to Elam. Qarni-Lim was initially an ally of Eshnunna but later sided with the Mariote King, Zimri-Lim, with whom he later got into a feud, resulting in a siege of the city. Andarig later voluntarily became a vassal of the Elamite Shamshi-Adad, which led to a revolution in the city, resulting in the assassination of Qarni-Lim, who was beheaded in 1766.
