The Çineköy inscription is a Hieroglyphic Luwian-Phoenician bilingual inscription, uncovered in Çineköy, Adana Province, Turkey (ancient Cilicia). The village of Çineköy lies 30 km south of Adana. The inscription is dated to the 8th century BC. It was originally published by Tekoglu and Lemaire (2000).〔Tekoglu, R. & Lemaire, A. (2000). La bilingue royale louvito-phénicienne de Çineköy. ''Comptes rendus de l’Académie des inscriptions, et belleslettres, année 2000'', 960-1006.〕 There's another important inscription of the same type known as 'Karatepe inscription', which was known earlier. Both of these inscription trace the kings of ancient Adana from the "house of Mopsos" (given in Hieroglyphic Luwian as Moxos and in Phoenician as Mopsos in the form ''mps''). He was the legendary king of antiquity. ==Background== The object on which the inscription is found is a monument to the Storm God Tarhunza. The inscription was authored by the man known as Urikki in Assyrian texts, which is equivalent to Warika, or Awariku in Luwian. He was the vassal king of Quwê (Assyrian name), the modern Cilicia. In Luwian this region was known as 'Hiyawa'.〔Trevor Bryce, (''The World of The Neo-Hittite Kingdoms: A Political and Military History.'' ) Oxford University Press, 2012 ISBN 0199218722〕 In this monumental inscription, Urikki made reference to the relationship between his kingdom and his Assyrian overlords. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Çineköy inscription」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
