Abstract

Abstract It is nowadays commonly accepted that the Hittite title Tuhkanti refers to the heir to the throne of Hattusa. However, while there are plenty of biographical works about individuals who held the title, there is a remarkable lack of studies about the position itself. Furthermore, there has until now been no complete compilation of the attestations of the word. With the aim of revisiting the role and the identity of the officer, this article catalogues all the occurrences of the term in Hittite contexts. Secondly, it offers a partially new characterisation of the office based on consideration of all the (currently known) attestations. The final picture that emerges diverts from the regular definition of a crown prince and reveals a type of emergency office, instituted in exceptional circumstances in order to reinforce the reigning dynasty.
赫梯语标题图坎蒂重新审视:对办公室的精确描述
摘要现在人们普遍认为赫梯人的头衔Tuhkanti指的是哈图萨的王位继承人。然而,尽管有大量关于担任该职位的个人的传记作品,但对该职位本身的研究却明显不足。此外,到目前为止,还没有完整汇编该词的证明。为了重新审视军官的角色和身份,本文对赫梯语中出现的所有术语进行了分类。其次,它在考虑所有(目前已知的)证明的基础上,对办公室进行了部分新的描述。最后出现的画面偏离了王储的常规定义,揭示了一种在特殊情况下设立的紧急办公室,目的是加强统治王朝。
