Kundu, a place mentioned in the inscriptions of the Assyrian king Esarhaddon (r. 680-669 BC), is associated with classical Kyinda. Kundu has sometimes been identified as Tırmıl Tepe Höyüğü, a mound ca. 2 km northeast of Mersin. The association of Kundu with Tırmıl Tepe Höyüğü is uncertain since the inscriptions of Esarhaddon suggest that Kundu was located near Sissû, a place identified as modern Kozan (formerly Sis). Modern Anavarza, which is about 20 km southeast of Kozan, has been suggested as a possible location of Kundu. Since Anavarza is generally associated with classical Anazarbos/Caesarea/Ioustin(ian)oupolis, that proposed location for Kundu is also uncertain.
