10?[edit]

A previous iteration of the article contained the words "and later" between the 10th and 11th entries on this list, but the current list makes no reference to the inconsistency in the count. Is anyone in a position to expound on the distinction between the 10 kingdoms reportedly listed in the Assyrian enscription (any ref to text?) and the full list of 13 -- i.e., was the Assyrian list incomplete at the time of creation, or were the additional 3 formed subsequently (and when, and were they broken out of the territory of specific existing kingdoms)?

Fixed - an IP editor had removed the phrase "and later", giving some vague Asimov Chronology reason in their edit summary, which I have replaced. Chaosdruid (talk) 05:48, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It seems "Asimov's chronology of the world" stroke again in February 2011 and was never reverted since, until now. I will re-add "and later" for the sake of clarity, but it would be better if someone could add sources and more precise information (I do not own anything of use on this very specific topic...). --Eunostos (talk) 21:22, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake with Kition[edit]

Seems to be a mistake. Kition does not seem to be listed in the Assyrian inscription of Esarhaddon of 673/72 whereas Marion should be included among the ten. The referenced transcription in Budge (p.105) does not mention either Kition. A more modern UCL site provides another transcription, and seems to confirm Kition's absence and identifies "Nuria" as Marion. There is a "Qartihadasti" ("New City" in Phoenician) which which could very probably refer to Kition, although apparently some prefer to identify it with Amathus instead. So if Kition is included in the list, then Amathus should be removed and vice-versa. Does anybody have a more reliable source? Walrasiad (talk) 14:36, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
