| Found near Adalaka, west of the district center of Malazgirt in Mus, the epihgraph was inscribed on the upper part of a stele. Analysis revealed that the inscription was dated to the period of King Menua. It reads; "By the might of the god Haldi, Menua, the son of Ishpuini says: I laid this canal until the bloody city of Menizaia. It is named "the Menua Canal". It was good for cities of Uqu'a (and) Zegue, Irnuni (and) Abasi." |
