		Kizzuwatna, "The Priest of the land Kizzuwatna." The "Priest" of Kizzuwatna ruled much as a vassal king did, and this letter has the Priest corresponding with the military governor of a Hittite province about the distribution of personnel.
		The Priest was surely of a higher rank than Kaššu, since he does not call him "my brother." However, since he does not refer to him as "my son" either, then these two men were probably not in the same chain of command.
		There is only one known Priest to rule in Kizzuwatna before the time of Šuppiluliuma I, and that is Kantuzzili.

		The function and effect of these purification and sacrificial rites, which are often only recorded formulaically, are explained by means of a comparative analysis of the Kizzuwatna Rituals, as they are known, and by drawing on other relevant texts.
		Using special cathartic techniques, which are applied only to the rituals from Kizzuwatna, it is possible to document an independent Kizzuwatnaic ritual tradition, which found its way into the Hittite tradition in connection with political contacts.

		Sul piano internazionale lo Stato non aveva più la preminenza assoluta neppure in Anatolia, come mostrano trattati stretti su un piano paritetico tra i re ittiti e quelli di Kizzuwatna.
