<p><b>Ibrium</b> (died <abbr title="circa">c.</abbr> 2322 BC), also spelt Ebrium, was the <a href="Vizier_(Ebla)" title="Vizier (Ebla)">vizier of Ebla</a> for king <a href="Irkab-Damu" title="Irkab-Damu">Irkab-Damu</a> and his successor <a href="Isar-Damu" title="Isar-Damu">Isar-Damu</a>.
</p><p>Ibrium is attested to have campaigned against the city of <a href="Abarsal" title="Abarsal">Abarsal</a> during the time of vizier Arrukum.<sup id="cite_ref-mario_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mario-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He took office after Arrukum during the last two years of Irkab-Damu's reign and continued to hold office during the reign of Isar-Damu. Ibrium kept his position for around 20 years and was succeeded by his son <a href="Ibbi-Sipish" title="Ibbi-Sipish">Ibbi-Sipish</a>, thus establishing a parallel dynasty of viziers next to the royal family.<sup id="cite_ref-mario_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mario-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
