The Tanır Inscription, the subject of our paper, was found in August 2009, in the plain of Elbistan-Kahramanmaraş by Asc. Prof Dr. Erkan Konyar from Istanbul University. Regarding its find spot and similarities to other inscriptions, the Tanır inscription displays the characteristics of the Late Hittite Period. Since it is located within the borders of the modern Kahramanmaraş province, at first glance it might have been considered to belong to the Late Hittite Kingdom of Gurgum. However, Elbistan plain, where the inscription was discovered, is far to the north of Kahramanmaraş and it was under the control of the Kingdom of Melid in the Late Hittite Period.
