Tarkasnawa King of Mira ‘Tarkondemos’, Boǧazköy sealings and Karabel*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 December 2013
Extract
The historical geography of Anatolia in the period sourced by the Boǧazköy texts (Middle-Late Bronze Age) has proved an on-going problem since they first became available, and nowhere was this more acutely felt than in southern and western Anatolia, generally acknowledged as the site of the Arzawa lands, also probably the Lukka lands. A major advance has been registered since the mid-1980s, with the publication and interpretation of the Hieroglyphic inscription of Tudhaliya IV from Yalburt, and the Cuneiform treaty on the Bronze Tablet of the same king. These two documents have established that the later territory of Rough Cilicia constituted the Late Bronze Age kingdom of Tarhuntassa with its western border at Perge in Pamphylia, and that the Lukka lands did indeed occupy all of (or more than) classical Lycia in the south-west. These recognitions, by establishing the geography of the south and south-west, correspondingly reduced the areas of uncertainty in the west.
In 1997 I was fortunately able to establish the reading of the Hieroglyphic inscription attached to the long-known Karabel relief, which lies inland from Izmir in a pass across the Tmolos range between Ephesos and Sardis. This can be shown to give the name of Tarkasnawa, King of Mira, and those of his father and grandfather, also kings of Mira but with names of uncertain reading. This is the same king known from his silver seal (referred to as ‘Tarkondemos' from an early and incorrect identification), and impressions of other seals of his have more recently been found at Boǧazköy. Clearly he was an important historical figure.

4 The necessity to emend the Cuneiform writing of Mira seems to have led to the assumption that the uncertainly read Cuneiform of the name could also be emended at will. But in fact our reading required virtually no emendation, just a small internal vertical in -ša- (not strictly necessary), and a small second diagonal for -na-.
5 Proposed new readings in bold type. The element tarkasna- is attested in the PN Tarkasnalli (Laroche, Noms, no. 1283), and the same word is apparently a common noun in Cun. Luwian texts (Starke, , StBoT 30, p.249Google Scholar [iii 1], also KUB XXXI, 71Google Scholar iii 14). The noun is spelled -ga-aš-ša-na-, while the PN is normally -ga-aš-na-, once -ga-aš-ša-na-.
6 The bullae Bo.388/z, 385/z, 386/z, 387/z, 1004/z were excavated in 1967 (i.e. /z) in a group with other bullae in the fill fallen into Magazine 32 in the Great Temple precinct.

Güterbock at once saw their importance to the Tarkondemos problem and also adduced his reading of KARABEL Cl published in 1967 (see below I.3.2 and n.16).

The sun does not reach the inscription until after 11a.m., being kept off latterly by the trees, which cast a dappled shadow between 10 and 11a.m. After that the light is fair but becomes flat in the early afternoon.

39 Evidenced by two fragments brought together by Houwink ten Cate as discussed by Heinhold-Krahmer, ibid., pp.76–79. That Hapalla was attacked from the Lower Land is important for its localization, for which inner Pisidia is indicated. A position south of the angle formed by the Karakuş and Sultan Daǧları would explain Hapalla's proximity to but separation from Kuwaliya and Pedassa: see below, V.5.2 and nn.153, 155.

50 See above n.26, nos.2 (Targ.), 4 (Man.); no.3 (Kup.) dates to the installation of Kupanta-DKAL in Mira in year 12 and accounts for the absence of a Mashuiluwa treaty (annulled). For these treaties see Heinhold-Krahmer, Arzawa pp.88–91, 130–135Google Scholar. The treaties also have useful reference to Mursili's settlement: e.g. Targ. §9 (Beckman, , HDT—§8Google Scholar), [nam-ma-z]a-kán ka-a-aš-ma ŠÀ-BI KUR-TI-IA 3 LÚMEŠEL-LU-TIM zi-ik Itar-ga-aš-na-al-li-išImaš-hu-i-lu-w[a-aš…], ‘[Now] behold in my land there are three ‘free men’, you Targasnalli, Mashuiluw[a and Manapatarhunda]’; Kup. §3, exactly parallel to the Ten-Year Annals statement except for Mashuiluwa, KURURUmi-ra-a-ma KUR URUku-wa-li-ia A-NA Imaš-hu-u-i-lu-wa EG[IR-pa] AD-DIN nu-uš-ši É A-BI-ŠU GIŠGU.ZA A-BI-ŠU-ia [EGIR-pa] AD-DIN, ‘and the lands of Mira and Kuwaliya I gave [back ] to Mashuiluwa, and his father's house and his father's throne I gave [back] to him’ (Starke emphasizes the evidence of this passage that Mashuiluwa's claim was to the throne of Arzawa itself and that Uhhaziti was one of the usurping brothers — see below, n.57). Cf. also Man. §10 (Beckman, , HDT —§7Google Scholar).

52 Kup. §4. Alakš. §17 (Beckman, , HDT— §14Google Scholar) explicitly states that Kupanta-DKAL, thus also his father and uncle who adopted him, was of the Arzawan royal line: nu Iku-pa-an-ta-DKAL-aš MÁŠ LÚ ŠA LUGAL KUR URUar-za-u-wa IŠ-TU MÁŠ MUNUS-TI-ma-aš ŠA LUGAL KUR URUha-at-ti, ‘Kupanta-DKAL (is) (from) the male line of the King of Arzawa, and he (is) from the female line of the King of Hatti’.

56 See above, n.50.
57 See above, n.28. Starke now puts a somewhat different slant on the same evidence, arguing that Mira itself was really the core of the state: Studia Troica 7 (1997), p.452Google Scholar with nn.44–46.
58 To establish this she has to discard some restorations, which have been taken to show that Mursili established rump Arzawa as another ‘Arzawa land’ under Piyama-DKAL, son of Uhhaziti, . In Alakš. §4Google Scholar, Friedrich, SV II, p.52 f. 1.A30, followed Forrer's restoration KUR URUar-za-u-w[a A-NA ISUM-ma-DKAL ID-DIN…], ‘the land Arzawa [to Piyama-DKAL he gave…]’, followed by ‘[Mira]-Kuwaliya [to Mashuiluwa, the Seha River land and] Abbawiya [to Manapatarhunda] and Hapalla [to Targasnalli].’ But Heinhold-Krahmer convincingly restored the alternative [nu-za ma-ah-ha-an] KUR URUar-za-u-w[a hu-u-ma-an tar-ah-ta…], ‘[When he had conquered the entire] land Arzawa’. Similarly another passage of Alakš. (§17: Beckman, , HDT— §14Google Scholar) was also restored with the name of [Piyama]-DKAL, but this too is now to be rejected: see below, II.4.2 and n.68.
59 Principally the relationship of Kupanta-DKAL and Mashuiluwa to the royal line of Arzawa (above, n.52); the way in which Mira already seems to be part of Arzawa at the beginning of Mursili's campaign; and the greater importance accorded in the Arzawa treaties to the king of Mira over the other rulers. Mashuiluwa, is actually described as ‘man of Arzawa’ (AM, p. 140 1.56)Google Scholar.
60 By establishing that Mira, known to adjoin Hatti in the neighbourhood of Pedassa, Aura and the Astarpa river, extended under Tarkasnawa as far as the Cayster valley and Ephesos, which may be recognized as the core of Arzawa and its capital Apasa: see below, V.4.1–2.

65 Alakš. §§2–3 cover the Arzawa campaigns of ‘Labarna’, Tudhaliya and Suppiluliuma. The discrepancy between this report of peaceful relations with Tudhaliya and the inclusion of the land Wilusiya in the list of hostile countries of Assuwa, (KUB XXIII, 11 ii 19Google Scholar) has been noted: Gurney, , CAH (3rd ed., 1973), p.676 f.Google Scholar; cf. Heinhold-Krahmer, , Arzawa, p.273fGoogle Scholar.
66 Alakš. §§4–5, badly damaged, unnumbered in Beckman HDT, who does however include ll.A30–33, but unfortunately adheres to the old Forrer-Friedrich restoration of 1.30, for which, as Heinhold-Krahmer has demonstrated, there is no supporting evidence (Arzawa, p. 137f.). See above, n.58.

68 Alakš. §17 (Beckman, , HDT— §14Google Scholar), KUB XXI, 1 iii 31–33Google Scholar; 1.32 is supplemented from Winckler's copy to give the name [(Ima-an-pa)]-DKAL (Otten, loc. cit. n.64, p.29 with n.9). This eliminates the Forrer-Friedrich restoration of [Piyama]-DKAL (son of Uhhaziti), but leaves the problem of the identity of Manpa-DKAL. Heinhold-Krahmer has argued convincingly that this is simply an error for Manpa-DU/IM, i.e. Manapatarhunda, (Arzawa, pp.152–157)Google Scholar, and most scholars follow her: e.g. Houwink ten Cate, loc.cit. (preceding n.), p.62 and n.79. Beckman however still prefers Piyama, -DKAL (HDT, pp.85, 118Google Scholar with n.20). Urahattusa is generally accepted to have been the contemporary king of Hapalla.
69 Sauskamuwa treaty: KUB XXIII, 1Google Scholar (+ XXI 43) ii 15–30 = Kühne, and Otten, , StBoT 16, p. 104Google Scholar. Muwatalli gave him his sister DINGIRMEŠ-IR (Matanazi), in marriage. The statement that Mursili gave her to Manapatarhunda as É.GE4. A (see following n.) is problematic.
70 There is no direct evidence for these two assumptions, except the statement, difficult to interpret because fragmentary, of KUB XXI, 33Google Scholar ll.12–13, relating to the giving of DINGIRMEŠ-IR by Mursili to Manapatarhunda as bride/daughter-in-law (É.GE4.A): for this passage see Freu, Hittites et Achéens (L.A.M.A. XI; Nice, 1990), p.22 n.23 with bibliography.
71 Houwink ten Cate considers this use of him as a warning may point to an ultimate disgrace of Masturi (loc. cit., (n.67), p.67). If so, the disgrace would have occurred in Tudhaliya's own reign since Masturi still king of the Seha River land appears as a witness on the Bronze Tablet (below, n.80). But this would not fit well with the recent interpretation of the ‘sins of the Seha River land’, dated to Tudhaliya's reign: see IV.2.2, 3 and nn.94–98.

Contra (dating to Muwatalli): Freu, Hittites et Achéens (1990, see n.70), pp.32–38; Ünal, Two Peoples on both sides of the Aegean Sea (1991, see n.111), p.33f.; Smit, D.W., KUB XIV 3Google Scholar and Hittite History (Talanta 22/23 (1990/1991), pp.79–111Google Scholar. Crucial to a decision is the identity of I.DKAL (col.i 73). Since the discovery of the Bronze Tablet, his identity as Kurunta king of Tarhuntassa is highly likely, which would ensure a dating to Hattusili III. Contrary to Ünal's argument, Kurunta was certainly not tuhkanti to Muwatalli. The case of the charioteer Dabalatarhunda (col.ii 57–61, 70–76) is very significant: contrary to the argument of Freu, his Luwian name would hardly disqualify him from marrying into the family of the queen, as he is stated to have done, if that queen were Puduhepa. The statement that the queen's family is very great (1.73f.) can surely only refer to Puduhepa. Also the clause (col.ii 56) ‘and further in no way [did I act] contrary to (handas) my brother’, which occurs as a repeated theme in the Apology of Hattusili (Halt, iii 38Google Scholar, 61, iv 29, 60), points to Hattusili's authorship.

Starke, attractively but speculatively, suggests that he was son of Piyama-DKAL son of Uhhaziti, (Studia Troica 7, p.453Google Scholar and nn.63–65).

78 Without being explicitly stated, this emerges from the narrative of the Hittite king's instructions sent to Iyalanda and his subsequent arrival there, followed by his diversion to Millawanda, communications sent to Piyamaradu and Atpa, and Piyamaradu's departure by boat.
79 Piyamaradu's operations between Iyalanda and Attarimma and his base in Millawanda are located on the southern border of Mira-Arzawa by the identification with Miletos and its environs (see below, V.6.1–4); cf. the location of the events of the Milawata letter, below, V.7.4.

For Alantalli II, see van den Hout's prosopography of the witnesses on the Tablet, Bronze, StBoT 38, pp.142–149Google Scholar. He now identifies him with the Alantali appearing on KUB VI, 47 1.9Google Scholar, his restorations of which are individually very plausible but result in finding KupantaDKAL still on the throne of Mira at the beginning of the reign of Tudhaliya IV, the grandson of the king (Mursili II) who originally installed him. Kupanta-DKAL would have been improbably old. Also he would have had to have survived into the reign of Tudhaliya, , written KUB VI 47Google Scholar, died and been succeeded by Alantalli, all before the issue of the Bronze Tablet.

The conquest of Awarna and Pina(li) by Tudhaliya IV on his Lukka campaign, recorded on YALBURT (blocks 12–13), also the EMİRGAZİ block (B 1.3), now securely dates this letter, with its references to the ‘hostages of Awarna and Pina(li)’ (left edge), to his reign: so already Masson, E., Journal des Savants 1979, p.37Google Scholar.

89 Nature of the action uncertain: verb written DU-u-en, ‘we DU-ed’. Hoffner read DU as TÚM (loc.cit., p. 132f. with nn.10, 17, 18) = Akk. (t)abālu, ‘carry off’. Güterbock, in Mellink, , Troy and the Trojan War (Bryn Mawr, 1986), p.38 n.17Google Scholar, preferred GIN, ‘establish, fix.’ Gurney suggests a badly written RA, = Hitt. walh-, ‘smite’ (Fs Sedat Alp (1992), p.220fGoogle Scholar. n.58).
90 The city ‘Pina’ recorded on the tablet can now be seen as an abbreviation for the place written in Hieroglyphic on YALBURT (also paired with Awarna) as Pinali: for reading of final syllable see Hawkins, , StBoT Bh.3, p.115Google Scholar.

100 KBo XVIII 18Google Scholar, discussed by Freu, Hittites et Achéens, p.43f, with reference to Singer and Güterbock. For the name of the addressee, a late Hier. Luw. inscription PORSUK (late 8th century B.C., Tuwana) has an author named Parhwira (pa+ra/i-HWI+ra/i-) which could be seen as a rhotacized form of Parhuitta. MAŠhuitta has been analysed as Luwian by comparison with Mashuiluwa. Parhwira is likely to be Luwian though no one analysis is certainly obvious.
101 See abov en.34, referring to Hagenbuchner, , THeth 15, pp.49–55Google Scholar. Hagenbuchner restores Parhuitta's title as LUGAL.[GAL], ‘Great King’, on the basis of the greetings formula alone. This hardly seems justified, since the closest parallel to this letter, EA 31 addressed by Nimuwariya, Great King, King of Egypt (Amenophis III) to Tarhundaradu King of Arzawa, is precisely a Great King addressing an ordinary king.

116 The Astarpa river is defined as the frontier of Kuwaliya in Kup. §§9–10 (Beckman, , HDT— §§9–10Google Scholar). Crossing over to Aura is prohibited.
117 Mashuiluwa came presumably from Mira to meet Mursili in Aura (above, II.3.1 and n.43); in year 12 when his double-dealing was detected, Mursili marching westwards summoned him to Sallapa (above, II.3.3 and n.51).
118 Already so identified by Garstang in 1943; maintained in Geography, p.86. The unexpressed basis for the identification was the need to find a river flowing in the right direction to serve as the Hatti-Arzawa frontier (Gurney, personal communication). Similar reasoning leads to the preference of the Çarşamba Çay over the Göksu (Calycadnos) as the Hatti-Tarhuntassa frontier (Hawkins, , StBoT Bh.3, p.53 and n.183Google Scholar).

135 I am certainly not the first to advocate this location.

Starke also argues strongly for this geographical disposition (Studia Troica 7, p.451 ffGoogle Scholar. esp. nn.40–41). The reading of KARABEL A however provides for the first time solid geographical proof of the correctness of this view, and removes the extremely uncertain KARABEL C1 from the discussion.

If the Astarpa is the Akar Çay, Kuwaliya would lie across the route south-west to Dinar (Apamea) on one branch of the upper Meander, and could well have included the other branch running through Çivril (Pelte), near Beycesultan. Alternatively Mira, here located generally in the area south of Kütahya (Cotiaeon) could have extended far enough south to include Beycesultan.

Note also that the river Siyanta does not occur in the form Siyanti.
153 Madd., §§22–23 (Beckman, , HDT, p.149Google Scholar — §§19–20). The passage suggests the proximity of the Siyanta river land, Kuwaliya and Hapalla, in spite of doubts of Heinhold-Krahmer, (Arzawa, p.347f.Google Scholar).

163 Attarimma has been proposed as the basis for the Lycians' self-designation as Trm ili, Greek Termilai: Carruba, , Athenaeum 42 (1964), pp.286–290Google Scholar; cf. id., Fs Borchhardt (Vienna, 1996), pp.28–31. The same scholar has sought the origin of Telmessos (Lye. Telebehi) in Hitt., Kuwalapassa (Die Sprache 24 [1978], p.167)Google Scholar. But these proposals on the toponyms are philologically rather than geographically based, so Carruba is able to accept not only Telmessos / Telebehi but also Colbasa and even Olbasa as reflections of Kuwalapassa, (Fs Borchhardt, p.27)Google Scholar. It is here suggested that Attarimma might be more geographically appropriate to location at Telmessos than is Kuwalapassa. Other derivations for Trm
ili / Termiloi have also been offered, e.g. by Laroche, , Revue Archéologique 1976, p. 19Google Scholar.
164 J. Börker-Klähn identifies Attarimma with Termessos in the extreme east of Lycia, but this seems to have been influenced by the place name appearing on the Hieroglyphic inscription KÖYLÜTOLU YAYLA (11.1, 3), written ta 5-tara/i-ma (URBS): see Akten des II. Internationalen Lykien-Symposiums (Vienna, 1993), I. pp.53–62Google Scholar. But the usage of Empire period ta 4, and ta 5 is highly problematic: Hawkins, , StBoT Bh.3, Appendix 5, pp.114–117Google Scholar. Since Hier. ta 5-ta 4-mi seems to represent the name Alalime, Hier. ta 5tara/i-ma should by the same token represent the city Alatarma. Attarimma can hardly be placed at Termessos. The phonetic identification of Attarimma with Lyc. Telebe-, Greek Telme- presents no particular problem; only the addition of the possessive (ethnic?) suffix -esso- / -ehi would require explanation.
165 Geography, ch.VI, where the idea of the cumulative corroboration provided by the identification of linked groups of Hittite and later toponyms is introduced (p.81f).

The placing of this whole cluster in Pisidia and Pamphylia, along with Millawanda in Milyas, by Forlanini, (Vicino Oriente 7 [1988], pp.162–168)Google Scholar was rapidly invalidated by the geographical evidence provided by the Bronze Tablet, published in the same year.

Forlanini supposed this to be the well known Ura, the port of Tarhuntassa, located probably at Silifke (Seleucia), but since there is no way that Mutamutassa and its cluster can now be located anywhere near Tarhuntassa, we must suppose that the Ura is another place bearing this common toponym (Forlanini, Atlante Storico, Tav.

196 Forlanini perhaps points to the best way forward with his remarks on Masa (loc.cit, n.193), treating this entity as a mobile population group rather than a fixed land.

207 Anna Morpurgo Davies writes: This statement refers to the identification of the place which the Hittites called Millawanda with the place which the later Ionians called Mίλητος. The identity of the two names has often been called in doubt or straightforwardly rejected; perhaps the most detailed account is that by Heubeck, A., in Glotta LXIII (1985), 127–32Google Scholar, who referred, as others had done before him, to the Mycenaean ethnic mi-ra-ti-ja which he read as Millatiai and interpreted as indicating women from Miletos. From Heubeck's discussion a series of points emerge: a) the Mycenaean form, written at a time when in Greek -w- was always preserved, speaks against a simple identification of Μίληατος and Mil(l)awanda; b) even if we forget about the Mycenaean evidence, on linguistic grounds it is unlikely that we can derive Μίληατος / Μίληατος from *Milwātos, as has been suggested; c) it is possible that the Cretan city Μίληατος and the Ionic city Μίληατος in origin had the same name, since the Ionic city is originally a Minoan creation and the Minoans may have used a Minoan name (which later survived in Crete) for the new foundation. This last point is crucial and in all likelihood correct, but need not lead to Heubeck's outright rejection of a link between Μίληατος, and Millawanda. If the Minoans did indeed call the place with a name similar to Μίληατος (the evidence we have is later, i.e. Mycenaean and Greek, and we must allow for some phonological differences), the Hittites would have come across a name which they did not recognize and which they might well have tried to integrate into their language by adding the suffix -wanda which is common in place-names such as Wiyanawanda. Jie's Retrograde Glossary lists some 50 -wanda names. Hittite is rich in words which start with mil-; this could have encouraged the creation of a form such as Millawanda which would have been based on an attempt to integrate the name Milatos into Hittite through a simple process of popular etymology.
