Tikunani

The city also Tikunani Tigunanu is mentioned a letter from the Grand Akkadian king Hatušili I. to Tunip-Teššub/Tunija of Tikunani. The city's location is unknown, but it must have lain against which the Great King just went to war in the neighborhood of Ḫaḫḫu. He calls his allies, his alliance with the Hittites to be faithful not to listen to the words of his enemy to devour the grain rations of Ḫaḫḫu and steal his cattle ("Every ox, which you take away, will be your own, each sheep and each goat that you take away will be your own! ") and then attack the city from both sides. At the end, he orders Tunip - Teššub to send him the iron that had brought the Great King of Niḫrija.

Salvini assumes that Tikunani was a Hurrian - Akkadian state in northern Mesopotamia, which was to become the Mittani kingdom later.

In a clay prism from the end of altbaylonischen period, from a illegal excavation, 438 Habiru are enumerated who work for Tunip - Teššub.
