Andia
Andia ( mat an-dia, kur An-di-ia) was an Iron Age kingdom in the Zāgros Mountains . It was near Zikirtu . Andia was temporarily under the rule of Mannai . On the Urartian inscription of Taštepe , in the description of the campaign against Mannai, a land Misianda ( mat mi-si-an-di-a) is mentioned, which according to Levine could be a misspelling of Missi and Andia. At the time of Sargon Andia appears to have been an Assyrian vassal. When it allied itself with Rusa I of Urarṭu , it became the target of the 8th Sargon Campaign.
