Abstract
AbstractIn 2007 two stelae, each bearing figures of the Storm-god leading a ruler and a
duplicate Hieroglyphic Luwian text, were discovered at
Uluçınar (formerly Arsuz), on the Turkish coast south of
Iskenderun. The inscription is the work of a Suppiluliuma, son of Manana, king
of the land of Walastin, now understood as the Luwian designation of the Amuq
plain with its capital at the Iron Age site of Tell Tayinat. The stelae,
probably dating to the later tenth century BC, record the successful reign of
the ruler and his happy relations with the Storm-god. Historically important is
a passage which describes this Amuq king's victory over the Cilician plain, the
city of Adana and the land of Hiyawa.
