Mount Pahurina was one of the lands of the Assuwa coalition in Bronze Age Anatolia that opposed the Hittites toward the end of the fifteenth century BC. It is named only in the Annals of Tudḫaliya, a text that chronicled the acts of Hittite monarch Tudḫaliya I.
Etymology
[edit]The name derives from the Luwic root pāḫūr meaning "fire"[1] and the denominal verb ina.[2] The name may suggest a volcano.
History
[edit]Mount Pahurina is named as one of the lands that comprised the Assuwa coalition, a military confederacy of twenty-two towns that opposed the Hittite army as it campaigned west of the Maraššantiya:
But when I turned back to Hattusa, then against me these lands declared war: [—]lugga, Kispuwa, Unaliya, [—], Dura, Halluwa, Huwallusiya, Karakisa, Dunda, Adadura, Parista, [—], [—]waa, Warsiya, Kuruppiya, [—]luissa, Alatra, Mount Pahurina, Pasuhalta, [—], Wilusiya, Taruisa. [These lands] with their warriors assembled themselves...and drew up their army opposite me...[3]
As with most of the Assuwa coalition states, it has yet to be located archaeologically and is not attested anywhere else.[4]
