Book Chapter
Katuwas and the Masoretic Text of Kings
2012
Overview
The Luwian text of King Katuwas was excavated by Woolley at Carchemish in 1911–1914. Sometime after its discovery, it was largely destroyed. Fragments remain at the Anatolian Civilizations Museum in Ankara and at the British Museum. This study follows the text edition of John David Hawkins who was able to see the fragments and earlier photographs of the entire inscription.¹
The first section of the text consists of the identification of the author:²
