“…Summing up, substantial archaeological evidence for the influence of Aegean material culture upon the plain of Cilicia in the Early Iron Age (Lehmann 2007 with the sources cited) correlates with a number of philological § observations that have been advanced to yield support to the suggestion of Greek presence in Que with varying degrees of confidence and plausibility (for example Lipiński 2004;Oettinger 2008;Oreshko 2013;Singer 2013). At the same time, there are scholars who are inclined to dismiss some or all of these observations as a chain of coincidences (for example Hajnal 2003;Gander 2012).…”

“…The arguments of Hajnal and Gander (further elaborated in Simon 2011) undermine to some extent the original etymological identity of Hiyawa and Ahhiyawa. Much, however, will depend on the reception of the recent proposal of Rostislav Oreshko (2013), who argues that the name of Ahhiyawa is attested without aphaeresis in KARATEPE 1. The sequence á-*429-wa/i-was traditionally read as *Adanawa-because of its Phoenician correspondences dnnym, 'Danuneans', and 'mq 'dn, 'plain of Adana'.…”

Phoenician and Luwian in Early Iron Age Cilicia

The relationship between the Luwian and Phoenician versions of the bilingual texts emanating from Cilicia has never been systematically studied from the philological viewpoint. In this paper I endeavour to demonstrate that a converging set of formal arguments supports the primary character of the Phoenician versions of the ÇINEKÖY and KARATEPE 1 bilinguals and the secondary character of their Luwian versions. I interpret this as a metaphor for the relationship between two ethnic constituents of the Neo-Hittite principality of Que, whose coexistence was earlier argued for on independent grounds. According to the proposed interpretation, the Phoenician language was emblematic of the rulers of Que, who claimed Greek descent and therefore attempted to distance themselves from the traditional elites of the neighbouring Neo-Hittite states. The use of the Luwian language was a concession to the indigenous population of Que. The adoption of Phoenician as a language of written expression by the Greek colonists in Cilicia happened at the point when the Linear B script had been forgotten and represented the first step toward the creation of the Greek alphabet.

“…An alternative, complementary possibility is that by the very end of the Bronze Age, perhaps some time after the last attested appearance of the name Ahhiyawa in the Šaušgamuwa treaty, Hiyawa had become a common way of referring to Ahhiyawa, or to a person or group originating from the lands which it designated, and had by the beginning of the Iron Age become the standard (and so far the only known) form of the name. This proposal obviates the need for seeking to identify the unaphaeresised form in the Hieroglyphic Luwian texts, as R. Oreshko (2013) has attempted to do, claiming to have read the name 'Ahhiyawa' in the KARATEPE 1 inscription. Though Yakubovich has given Oreshko's proposal some tentative support (2015a: 39; 2015b), David Hawkins has robustly rejected it (2015).…”

The focus of this article is the recently published, near-duplicate ARSUZ inscriptions carved on two stelae found near İskenderun in southeastern Turkey and dating to the later tenth century BC. Particular attention is given to the historical section of these inscriptions, and its reference to a land called Hiyawa (Assyrian Que) in eastern Cilicia, previously attested in only one other Iron Age inscription, the Luwian-Phoenician bilingual found at Çineköy near Adana. The article discusses what new information can be deduced about Hiyawa, including its relationship with the land of Adana(wa) in eastern Cilicia, the implications to be drawn from the findspot of the stelae and the much-debated question of whether the references to Hiyawa reflect Greek settlement in southeastern Anatolia during the Early Iron Age. Fresh attention is also given to the two Akkadian texts from the archives of Late Bronze Age Ugarit which refer to a group called the Hiyawa-men, who were located at that time (late 13th to early 12th century) in Lukka in southwestern Anatolia. The controversial identification of this group with Ahhiyawans/Mycenaean Greeks is re-examined within the broader context of a comprehensive reconsideration of the Ahhiyawa-Hiyawa equation and the role played by ‘Hiyawans’ and the land of Hiyawa in the affairs of the eastern Mediterranean world from the end of the Bronze Age through the succeeding Iron Age.
