Pattin
Pattin, was an ancient Luwian Syro-Hittite state at the beginning of the 1st millennium BC. It was known to the Assyrians as Unqi.
It was located at the north-western coast of ancient Syria, associated with the modern-day Sanjak of Alexandretta. The capital of the state was Kinalua, which has been tentatively associated with Tell Tayinat in modern-day Turkey.
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 Syro-Hittite state of Quwê. Khazazu was one of Pattin's dependencies which was invaded by Assyria around 870 BC. The frontier fortress of Aribua within the land of Lukhuti to the immediate south of Pattin was also ravaged.
