Suppiluliuma II of Pattin

[3] In 858 BC, Suppiluliuma entered into an alliance with the other Neo-Hittite states Bit-Adini, Carchemish and Samʾal against the Neo-Assyrian king Shalmaneser III.

[3] With the Assyrians threatening the fortified city of Alimush (Alishir), Suppiluliuma called upon the alliance.

The four allies were joined on this occasion by the states of Adanawa, Hilakku, Yahan and Yasbuq.

[3] In 2012, a large statue with a fragmentary inscription in Hieroglyphic Luwian was discovered at the site of the Pattinite capital in Tell Tayinat.

The statue claims that Suppiluliuma seized eight regions from an enemy, put up something (possibly a monument) along his frontier and did something undecipherable to a hundred towns.
