Ištuanda ( akk-x-neoassyr, ) or Ištunda ( akk-x-neoassyr, ) was a Luwian-speaking Syro-Hittite state which existed in the region of Tabal in southeastern Anatolia in the Iron Age. Geography Ištuanda was located in northern Cappadocia, in the northwestern part of the Tabalian region close to the kingdom of Atuna and near what is presently Aksaray. History Bronze Age The territory that later became Ištuanda might have corresponded to the region which was referred to in Hittite texts from the Late Bronze Age as Wašuduwanda (), which was the site of a shrine to the goddess Ḫepat. Iron Age Kingdom of Ištuanda By , the Tabalian region, including Ištuanda, had become a tributary of the Neo-Assyrian king Tiglath-pileser III, possibly after his conquest of Arpad over the course of 743 to 740 BC caused the states of the Tabalian region to submit to him, or possibly as a result of a campaign of Tiglath-pileser III in Tabal.

Tabal (region)
Tabal ( akk-x-neoassyr, , translit=māt Tabal and , romanized: ) was a region which covered south-east Anatolia during the Iron Age. Name The native name of the region of Tabal is still unknown, although it might have been ( hlu, ), which is attested in inscriptions from Karkamiš. However, in the absence of native Tabalian inscriptions containing this name, this identification cannot yet be confirmed. The origin of the name is also uncertain since it was not used for the Tabalian region in the Late Bronze Age. Tabal As exonym Due to the absence of the name or any other name similar to it in native Central Anatolian sources of the Iron Age and the lack of its attestation to designate this area in Old and Middle Assyrian sources, this name tends to be considered by historians to have been an exonym given to the region by the Neo-Assyrian Empire. was likely an Akkadian term meaning "bank" or "shore" of a body of water, in reference to the kingdom and region of Tabal bein ...

Atuna (state)
Atuna ( akk-x-neoassyr, ) or Tuna ( akk-x-neoassyr, ) was a Luwian-speaking Syro-Hittite state which existed in the region of Tabal in southeastern Anatolia in the Iron Age. Geography Location The exact location of Atuna is still unknown due to a present lack of Luwian inscriptions from the kingdom's capital, and, while the site of Zeyve Höyük, corresponding to classical Tynna, has been suggested as a possible location for the capital of Atuna, Atuna was instead likely located further north, in northern Cappadocia. Since Atuna later obtained the territory of the Tabalian kingdom of Šinuḫtu, it was likely in the region immediately south of the Halys river's southernmost bend, to the immediate north of Šinuḫtu, and to the west of the kingdom of Tabal proper and around the site which the present-day village of Bohça, which was possibly its capital and where the king Kurdis of Atuna had erected a stele.

Bīt-Burutaš
Tabal ( akk-x-neoassyr, and ), later reorganised into Bīt-Burutaš ( akk-x-neoassyr, ) or Bīt-Paruta ( akk-x-neoassyr, ), was a Luwian-speaking Syro-Hittite state which existed in southeastern Anatolia in the Iron Age. Name The name given to the kingdom by the Neo-Assyrian Empire was likely an Akkadian term meaning "bank" or "shore" of a body of water, in reference to the kingdom and region of Tabal being on the southern bank of the Halys river. Due to an absence of relevant Luwian inscriptions, the native name of the kingdom of Tabal is still unknown. Usage The kingdom of Tabal was located in a region bounded by the Halys river, the Taurus Mountains, the Konya Plain and the Anti-Taurus Mountains, and which was occupied by a cluster of Syro-Hittite states. The Neo-Assyrian Empire used the name of Tabal in a narrow sense to refer to the kingdom of Tabal and in a broader sense to designate both this larger region of which the kingdom was part of and to the other ...

Warpalawas II
Warpalawas II was a Luwian king of the Syro-Hittite kingdom of Tuwana in the region of Tabal who reigned during the late 8th century BC, from around to 705 BC.
