“Kurunta may have spent Ḫattušili's reign trying to recover such lost territory. The provisions of the treaty with Tudḫaliya IV indicate that, should the Hittite great king conquer additional lands west of the border river Kaštaraya (Classical Kaistros, Aksu), in the area of the city of Parḫā (Classical Perge in Pamphylia), he was expected to turn them over to Kurunta”
