Deities or ones with Hattian names. The nature of many of the lesser gods

In simiJar lists, the War-god is offen accompanied by the Throne-goddess Halmasnit.

1.85 Pecchioli Daddi (1995) interprets Zayu as an epithet of a local Storm-god. For Hattian *saiu/

zaiu/äail ‘lord?/ see Soysal 2004: 306,

186 For this group of deities, see a restored list of gods: [Hulla?], [Telipinu?], [ZABÄBA], pDayH,

[GÄL.ZU], (KBo 21.83 rev. Tf.:) Tuhasail, [(Wa-)Zizzasu?], Zuliya, Yoshida 1996: 114, 297.

McMahon (1991: 249 with n. 16) suggested thafc the last mentioned deities are named in the

next paragraph (rev. 3’) “three kipikkiMus of [the Sun-goddess and Mezzulla?].” Other contexts

Contradict this iclea. Some texts (Yoshida 1996: 176ff,, 296) mention Karma hi(li) after Tuhasail,

see Otten 1.976.1980b. KBo 21,85+KBo 8.109+ iv! 19: ff. adds further divinifcies to this group:

Zizzasu, Zuliya, Kahupput, Tahangulla, Halmasuiddu, Kattahhi, [Zuw]uru/Sipuru. In other texts

(Yoshida 1996: 109f£., 297) Sipuru is followed by (three) kipikki/asdus (of?) the Sun-Goddess

and Mezzulla; cf. KBo 20.70+KBo 21.88 ii Iff. Also evidenced are six deities presented in pairs:

Zizzisu -Zuliya, Telipinu- Sipuru, Katahha-Tahankulla (Haas 1994a: 476 with n. 68). Cf. also

KBo 37.157 8 ’ff.: Tuwasa[il?], [Karmahilji? / Telipinu I ZA[BABA], [Halmasuijddu / Öiwuru, [Ka

tahhi?] / [Ueriyajdu, Istanu (Alp 1988a: 3621; Yoshida 1996; 237). In the Kl.LAM list the said

Group of gods precedes the deities of Ankuwa and Ziplanda. Presumably we are dealing with

Fche local pantheon(s) from the Zuliya/Qekerek basin. On the importance of early Hittite centers

In the Zuliya basin, see Forlanixd 2002: 260f. Katapa is one of the high-ranking centers to be

Located in this region (cf. 3,2.3). For Zuliya, see also Laroche 1946-1947: 41; 1973a: 87; Klinger

F. Sep/wuru was a deity connected with agriculture. At Ziplanda she received offe.ri.ngs

Together with Telipinu on a threshing floor. see Popko 1994: 43, 56.

8.109 i 24’) = mv %attuscis DINGIR ME§ ‘gods of Hattusa’ in the list of gods of CTH 630 (see

N. 182), cf. Singer 1983: 102; Soysal 2004: 459.

188 Sueumahi (Popko 1994: 44), Simmisu(n) (cf. KBo 47.81 rev.? 3’f.: [LO]SANGA D Simmisun) and

Haratsi, a deity connected with agriculture (Otten 1972 —1975b; Popko 1994: 43; 1995a: 72). are

Also evidenced in the cult of Ziplanda.

189 Sitarzuna is also mentioned among the gods» ‘holy places; and other cult objecfcs in ceremonies

Held in the hesta- house, see below with n. 247. It can be therefore assumed that this is one of

The chthonic deities.

One cannot exclude Hittite-Luwian divinifcies being conceaied under some Hattian names, see

Below.

Appearing toward the encl of the list remains obscure. Some of them are present

Among the fourteen deities whom the king made sacrifices to earlier in the temple

of the Sun-goddess: Sun-goddess, [Mezzulla], Storm-god, Wasezzili, Inar, [Hahan-

dali?], ‘Lady oi the Palace/ ZAB ABA. Ta[hampiw/pu?], Wahzasu, Katahhi, [ j,

Hasammiu (~Hasam(m)ili), Haratsi;" others belonged to the group of gods eharged

With caring for the Harvest, fertility and the household, who received offerings in

another temple, perhaps the House of the kursa (here the text is damaged), situated

like the temple of the Sun-goddess on the acropolis Büyükkale, near a place called

‘silver trees’ and a fyuwasi (-precinct?) of the Storm-god. These gods are: [ ],

'Telipinu, Tahpil[la]nu, [ ], [Tapalhjuna, Katahhi, [ülz]a?, 19d [ ], and ‘Ladv of the

Palace.’ ‘ A later text written in the New Script from the Empire period confirms

the connection between this group of divinities and the House of the kursa. 1 ' 10 The

text has a similar list of gods carried (?) to the House of the kursa: [ ], Telipinu,

Tafepillfanu], [ ], Tapalbuna, Zilipu[ru/i], [Katahhji?, Halzukki, and ‘Lady of the

Palace.' Among the divinities coming from other cities one should note the Storm-
