Nuhašše

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nuhašše, also Nuhašša, was a territory in the Syrian region mentioned in various Middle Eastern documents. The 1350 BC Amarna letters correspondence refers to Nuhašše in 11 tablet-letters written in Akkadian cuneiform.

The region was generally south of Aleppo. In the Amarna letters, Nuhašše was ruled by Addu-nirari, letter EA 51, (EA for 'el Amarna').
