Qu'e
Qu'e (also Que , after Bilingue from Cineköy Luwian Hiyawa , Phoenician Adanawa (= land of denyen ?)) One was small Asian kingdom under Shalmaneser V 725 v. BC to. Assyrian was declared province.
location
The area of Qu'e corresponded to the classical Cilicia (the "flat Cilicia", Kilikia Pedias) and roughly the Hittite small state Kizzuwatna . It was south of Tabal and Tuwana and north of Tarsus .
history
Qu'e may have been an heir to the ancient Luwian Kizzuwatna. Shalmaneser III made Qu'e tribute in several campaigns. Tiglat-Pileser III. also led campaigns in the areas around Qu'e, as rebellions against the Assyrian rule broke out again and again. After the incorporation under the king Awariku (Assyrian Urikki), he set up the Danish king Azatiwada as his governor in Azatiwataya ( Karatepe-Arslantaş ). Awariku made the statue of Çineköy. This contains a bilingual Phoenician-hieroglyphic Luwian inscription, in which he reports on his achievements and traces his descent to Mukasa (Phoenician mpš ), which is often associated with the Mopsos of the Greek saga in research because of the Phoenician spelling .
In Roman times, Kietis referred to Anemurion and cities on the coast of Cilicia as belonging to Qu'e. Tacitus reports on the tribe of the Kietai who attacked Anemurion under their king Troxobor, but were repulsed by Commagene by Antiochus IV . Jones et al. think it is possible that a Ptolemaic inscription from Arsinoe refers to the Kitae.
