		Arzawa ist die hethitische Bezeichnung eines Reichs und einer Region in West-Kleinasien und wurde vermutlich von Luwiern bewohnt.
		Schon Suppiluliuma I. unternahm wohl einen Feldzug gegen Arzawa (davon sind uns aber keine Quellen überliefert), aber erst seinem Sohn und Nachfolger Muršili II.
		In Arzawa dürfte man Luwisch gesprochen haben, dies ergibt sich z.B. aus der Ersetzung von Luwiya durch Arzawa in einer späteren Version der Gesetze und wegen der Personennamen, die klar luwische Elemente aufweisen, z.B. Uhha-Ziti, luw.

		Friedrich Cornelius who did not have knowledge of this fact thought that Madnasa, whose name took place in the lists showing the amount of talanton paid by each town as an expense contribution to the Delian Confederacy read on the inscriptions found in Attika, was the Maeander Magnesia.
		Moreover he mistakenly stated that it is the same town as Maddunassa which took place in Hittite documentation and which was on the route of Tudhalia the Second on his war journey to Arzawa.
		However it is absolutely impossible that Lelegian Madnasa on the Bodrum Peninsula was Maddunassa because Bodrum Peninsula is nowhere to be stopped at from the country of Hittites to Arzawa countries; it is by the sea at the edge of mainland.
