Pattin (also known as Pattina, Patina, Unqu and Unqi), was an ancient Luwian Neo-Hittite state at the beginning of the 1st millennium BC. It was known to the Assyrians as Unqi and Aramaeans as Unqu.
It was located at the north-western coast of ancient Syria, associated with the modern-day Hatay. The capital of the state was Kinalua (Kunalua, Kalneh, or Kinaluwa), which has been tentatively associated with Tell TayinatSee the Tayinat Website by the Department of Near & Middle Eastern Civilizations at the University of Toronto in modern-day Turkey.
History Iron Age The state was formed in the 9th century BC towards the end of the Dark Age period, and shared a north-western border with the Neo-Hittite state of Quwê. Khazazu (modern-day Azaz) was one of Pattin's dependencies which was invaded by Assyria around 870 BC. The frontier fortress of Aribua (associated with the modern-day region of Idlib) within the land of Lukhuti to the immediate south of Pattin was also ravaged.Syria-Hittite, PattinHistory files:Aleppo
