Hubuškia
Ḫubuškia (Hubuschkia, Chubuschkia, Kubuchkia) was an Iron Age kingdom in eastern Anatolia or western Iran.
geography
Ḫubuškia was a smaller Iron Age kingdom in the highlands north of Assyria, either in the Taurus or on the northern edge of the Iranian plateau . There are basically two localization suggestions:
- Southeast of Musaṣir (Reade, Hulin, Kinnier Wilson)
- North or northwest of Musaṣir (Salvini, Muscarella)
Reade settles it southeast of Musaṣir , southwest of Mannai and west of Gizilbunda . Mostly it is believed to be in the Chaneh valley on the upper small Zab , south of Lake Urmi , others settle it on the upper reaches of the Great Zab , in today's Yüksekova or Hakkâri .
history
There is hardly any information on the history of the country. According to the Kurkh stele , it was named 858 BC. By Shalmaneser III. attacked on a campaign against Arzaškun . Unrest followed in 856 BC. Another attack by Shalmaneser III. ( Black Obelisk ). During the campaigns of General Dajan-Aššur against Mannai it became 829 BC. Chr. Looted again.
Also Adad-nīrārī III. undertook campaigns against Ḫubuškia, mostly in connection with operations against the Medes . 715 BC It paid tribute to Sargon , but it may have been part of Nairi by then . In any case, the king later took part in the Rusa campaigns.
language
Own written sources are missing. After Levine and Salvini, the names of the rulers of Ḫubuškia are Hurrian . Zadok wants to recognize an Iranian name, while he interprets others as "local" or as a Kassite title. Diakonov considers the name in question to be a Gutean title.
