Description
Summary:Two hitherto unpublished Old Assyrian tablets from the excavations at Kültepe/Kaneš in 1950 (kt c/k 922 and kt c/k 944) are introduced. Both name the well-attested city of Luhusattia and the Balīhi -area in connection with the wool trade of the family of Ennānum, the son of Abīya, found in published tablets from the irregular excavations before 1948. It is shown that the toponym Balīhi refers to an urban centre associated with the river of the same name rather than a town in Anatolia.
