Abstract
This contribution analyzes some aspects and problems of Hittite internal administration during the period following the struggle between Urhi-Teššup and Hattusili over sovereignty in the Hatti land (13th Century BC). More specifically, it examines evidence regarding a special corpus of dignitaries (the LÚMEŠ SAG /EUNUCHUS) who acquired special power during the last decades of the Hittite Empire.
