Abstract
The article deals with the unpublished letter from Sapinuwa which was made public by A. Suel at the congress of Hittitology in Çorum in 2014. This letter contains a mention of an armed conflict between the Lycians and Cyprus. As announced by the scholar, the letter should be dated by the reign of Tudhaliya II, i.e approximately the first half of the 14 century BC. Based on this dating the present author suggests that chronologically similar parallels for this text can be found in the letter EA 38 and the so-called «Indictment of Madduwatta», which mention Lycian raids to Cyprus too. In his opinion, all of the three documents reflect the intensification of Lycian raids in Eastern Mediterranean at the end of the 15 - early 14 centuries BC because of weakening Hittite control in western Anatolia. Key words : Alasia, Cyprus, Lycians, Lukka, Madduwatta, Sapinuwa, Tudhaliya II.
