“…It thus most likely comes from south-central Anatolia, specifically Cappadocia, additionally including the area directly to the north of the Kızılırmak river. For this definition of Tabal, see Weeden 2010. Closest similarities exist with the Assur Letters (Hawkins 2000: 533-55, pls 306-13), Kululu inscriptions (Hawkins 2000: 442-503, pls 244-88), inscriptions from the wider Niğde area (Hawkins 2000: 513-31, pls 290-305) and the recently published Kırşehir Letter (Akdoğan, Hawkins 2007-20082011;Giusfredi 2010: 236-39).…”

The article publishes an unprovenanced fragment of a stele housed in the Haluk Perk Museum in Istanbul. Palaeography and manner of inscription suggest an origin in the eighth century BC in the region known to the Neo-Assyrians as Tabal. The new text is largely incomprehensible due to its fragmentary state, as well as the fact that it contains otherwise unattested words and signs. However, in one case, a rare combination of signs persuades us to revise the reading of part of another recently published hieroglyphic document from the same period and area. The Istanbul text appears to contain a historical narrative relating to a warlike encounter. The article presents the text in hand-copy, photo, transliteration and translation, as well as supplying a detailed philological commentary. ÖzetSöz konusu makale, İstanbul'daki Haluk Perk müzesinde bulunan orijini belirsiz bir stel parçası ile ilgilidir. Yazıtın tarzı ve paleografik özellikleri söz konusu parçanın Yeni Asur çağında Tabal olarak bilinen bölgede M.Ö.8.yüzyılda kaleme alınmış olabileceğini düşündürmektedir. Metnin büyük bir kısmı kırık yapısından dolayı anlaşılmaz durumda olup, ayrıca tanımlanamayan işaret ve sözcükler içerdiği görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte söz konusu bölgede aynı çağ içinde kaleme alınmış yakın bir tarihte yayınlanan bir başka hiyeroglif belge de söz konusudur. Stelimizdeki bazı işaret formlarının oluşturduğu az sayıdaki kombinasyon bizi bu metnin bir bölümünü yeniden gözden geçirmeye itmiştir. İstanbul metni bir savaşla ilişkili tarihsel bir hikâyeyi içermektedir. Metnin elde yapılmış bir kopyası ile resim, tercüme ve transkripsiyonunun yer aldığı söz konusu çalışma çerçevesinde ayrıca metne ilişkin filolojik nitelikli bir detaylı yorum da kaleme alınmıştır.

The Hittite Empire disappeared from history together with the Aegean Migrations in the late 2nd millennium BC. With the disappearance of the Hittites from history, various city states were established in the Eastern Anatolia, Southeastern Anatolia, Central Anatolia, Northern Syria and the Eastern Mediterranean regions as the Late Hittite Kingdoms. Tabal kingdom, being one of these city states, continued to dominate the geography including Nevşehir, Kayseri, Aksaray and Niğde provinces. The strategic location of the Tabal Kingdom and its potential for raw materials became the most vital factor shaping the historical and political geography of Central Anatolia Region in the Middle Iron Age because the geography of Tabal was always a field of struggle for important political forces of the time such as Assyrian, Urartu and Phrygian.The military and political developments in the Central Anatolian Region in the Middle Iron Age were shaped depending the military expeditions of Assur on that geography. The intensive Asurian pressure for the region caused all the local political forces, particularly Tabal, in Anatolia and Northern Syria to create coalitions against Assyria.Yet, the coalitions in question failed to eliminate the Assyrian threat in the Anatolian and Northern Syrian geographies. Even at times, these coalitions were the most important reason for the military expeditions into the northern regions that Assyrians carried out.
