The End of the House of Teḫip-tilla and the Fall of Nuzi

Maidman, Maynard P.

Abstrak

The focus of this article is Tieš-urḫe son of Takku, the last attested member of the house founded by Puḫi-šenni son of Tur-šenni (the Puḫi-šenni who fathered the famous Teḫip-tilla). He is the only known scion of this family going back five generations to Nuzi’s very origins.  The article traces his assorted activities in the shadow of Nuzi’s final days. We shall see that Tieš-urḫe was conspicuous as a landlord, as a bureaucrat, and as a military man—the last perhaps to the time of his death. He was a worthy scion of a family seemingly always in the forefront of Nuzi’s economic, social, and political life.
