The Urartian Onomasticon
The research of the Urartian anthroponyms has a long history, with its beginnings going back to the turn of the 19th century, but almost all scholars focused their attention on the study of royal or throne names of the Urartian kings. Only a few personal names have been investigated in the commentaries of the text editions in later studies. Seemingly, the limited linguistic material of the Urartian language recorded in texts, including hapax lego…

Appendix A
The prosopography of Urartu includes all available data on anthroponyms connected directly or in some way with the Urartian cultural world. The corpus of the names is presented in five chapters and numerated as Appendix A-E. By their structure the chapters mostly resemble The Prosopography of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, while the main discussions on the names’ etymologies are given in the main text. The names are given according to alphabetic order,…
Appendix B
Not secured and disputable names attested in Urartian texts
Appendix D
Theophorous names based on the divine name Ḫaldi attested in Neo-Assyrian and Achaemenid-period cuneiform sources
Altan Çilingiroğlu (1945-2021)
Altan ilingirolu
Appendix E
The Eastern Taurus: Neo-Assyrian sources
Appendix C
Urartian anthroponyms attested in non-Urartian sources
Zanua, the Carpet-Maker
Evidence of Urartian textiles is mostly limited to pictorial representations, along with a few textual references and finds of fragments of textiles in archaeological contexts. The study of an Urartian royal letter gives some new idea on craftsmen who wove textiles in Urartu
The Kura-Araxes ‘expansion’
Two of the documented global climate changes of the Holocene that are known in the academic literature as the ‘5.2 ka BP’ and ‘4.2 ka BP’ events, coincide with two important stages of the Early Bronze Age Kura-Araxes culture of Armenia. The ‘4.2 ka BP event’ coincides with the final stage of this culture, the process of fragmentation and decline observed for the Kura-Araxes from 2500 BC onwards. It ends at around 2200 BC with abandonment or destr…
Two Hurro-Urartian Lexical Parallels
Related words in the Hurrian and Urartian vocabularies are numerous due to the affinity of these two languages. To the list of common roots and terms we can now add two more examples: iradini “bird” and purulini “divination(?)”
To be a ‘Biainian’
Some Urartian royal inscriptions dated to the 7th century BC several times mention a group of people, calling them ‘Biainians’. The context, in which the ‘Biainians’ are figuring along with ‘foreigners’, is negative, as they appear only in the curse formulae of those inscriptions. Actually, they were considered as potential threat towards the royal power. The article discusses the role and social status of those ‘Biainians’ and the manifestations…
