History
Hurkum (Dilkaya) is a modern village situated on the southern shore of Lake Van in the Southeast of Turkey near Ishanikom. In its church, a re-used column base with an inscription of the Urartian king Minua, son of Išpuini (9th / 8th century BCE) was found which reports the building of a banquet hall (CTU A 5-65C). Two other column bases with the same inscription have been found in a private house near the historic center of Van (CTU A 5-65A) and in a church of the monastery of Warrak Kilisa or Yedikilise (CTU A 5-65B).
