The name in Assyrian inscriptions is known only from ethnic names. The capital of this kingdom in Tabal was also called *Atuna, a city often identified as classical Tynna. The identification of *Atuna is not entirely certain and it has been suggested that the city was in the vicinity of Bohça, at Kızılırmak-Bogen, ca. 40 km west of Kayseri, since a Luwian inscription of Kurtis was discovered there; Kurtis might be the Kurtî of *Atuna mentioned in inscriptions of Sargon II (r. 721-705 BC).
