An inscription in Luwian hieroglyphs beside him reads: “King Taita am I, Hero, Palistin-ean king”. Northwestern Syria, Kingdom of Palistin, Iron Age I–II, 1100–950 BC, in situ [1316×536]

I touched on this inscription briefly in my AskHistorians [post on the Philistines](https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/6mfbrq/deleted_by_user/dk1e4ey/?context=3) and wrote more about Luwian and Anatolian hieroglyphs [in another post](https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/qwsfk7/why_didnt_bronze_age_civilizations_adopt_the/hl6imb6/).
