Arnuwanti II

Arnuwanti II was the creator of two stelae (monoliths) written in Luwian hieroglyphs: one at İspekçür,^[2] and one at Darende.^[3] In his inscriptions, he calls himself "Arnuwantis the King". In the İspekçür stele, Arnuwanti traces his lineage. From this, it can be deduced that he was the son of a certain PUGNUS-mili II, and the grandson of another Arnuwanti,^[1] probably the brother of Runtiya, who authored the Gürün rock inscription. If this is true, then Arnuwanti is a late descendant of the royal house of the Hittite Empire, through Kuzi-Teshub, the grandfather of Runtiya and possibly Arnuwanti I. A similar genealogical inscription also occurs on the Darende stele, as well as a dedication to the important Syrian goddess Hebat "of the city".
