Abbawiya
Abbawiya was an ancient region of Anatolia located in classical Phrygia during the Middle Bronze Age.
Etymology
[edit]The etymology of Abbawiya is unknown. It may have been an Arzawan formulaic theophoric name [1] combining dlugal-a-ab-ba[2] with the Luwic suffix wiya ("sent from").[3]
Geography
[edit]Abbawiya is equated with the Classical Abbaitis,[4] a town in the modern Simav District of Kütahya Province.[5] It "lay on a route between Ialanda and Milawatas" and "was approached by a hill climb."[6]
History
[edit]Abbawiya is mentioned in the final years of the 14th century BC in a treaty between the Hittite king Muršili II and king of the Seha River Land, Manapa-Tarhunta.[7] It was located in the Seha River Land and considered part of the Arzawan lands prior to Mursili's "great western campaign."[8] It was never conquered by the Hittites and simply remained part of Manapa-Tarhunta's kingdom after the breakup of the Arzawan lands into their constituent parts.[9] Prior to that it appears to have been a border territory between the Seha River Land and Mira-Kawaliya.[8]
