Summary/Abstract: After a critical discussion of the previously suggested dates of the Hieroglyphic Luwian inscription of the silver bowl in Ankara, a detailed analysis of its epigraphy and content will point out that these characteristics can be explained only by a hitherto unknown Hittite Great King Tudhaliya after the disintegration of the Hittite Empire. The second part of the paper analyses whether such a suggestion is possible from a historical point of view, especially with the Great Kings of Tabal in the background.
