Hurri/Ba’il-hurri is probably a mountain on Cyprus since it is mentioned in a stele of the eighth-century-BC Assyrian king Sargon II (r. 721-705 BC) discovered at Larnaka. H. Tadmor suggests that Mount Hurri/Ba’il-hurri was northwest of Larnaka, perhaps in the vicinity of Stavrovouni Monastery. This would place it not too far from the find spot of the Assyrian monument mentioning it. A. Bagg accepts this proposal, however he (erroneously) states that Stavrovouni is northeast of Larnaka: the monastery is certainly northwest of that city.
