| Résumé: | This paper discusses the alleged one-year length of the campaign led by the Hittite king Suppiluliuma I against Tušratta of Mittani.

A rearrangement of its events, as they can be reconstructed by comparing CTH 51 with other documents dating to the same period, over a time span longer than the traditional one seems to be best suited to the number and the importance of the deeds accomplished by Suppiluliuma. |
