Pazarcık Stele

The stele was found at Kizkapanli, Pazarcik village, about 30km southeast from the city of Kahramanmaraş in Turkey.

[5] Adad-nirari apparently travelled with his mother Šammuramat, defeated the alliance at Paqarhubuna, and established the border between Kummuh and Gurgum at Pazarcık.

It settles another border dispute, the territorial conflict between the kings Atarshumki I of Arpad, and Zakkur of Hamath, and it was also set up in the name of Adad-Nirari III and Shamshi-ilu.

According to Hawkins, Antakya stele should be dated 9 years later in 796 BC, and Ataršumki, the former enemy of Assyria, is now the beneficiary of the Assyrian arbitration.

According to the inscription, the general of Shalmaneser IV Šamši-ilu received a rich tribute from him.
