===Mari Tablets=== A location called ''Kaptar'' is mentioned in several texts of the [[Mari Tablets]] and is understood to be reference to Caphtor. An inscription dating to c. 1780-1760 BCE mentions a man from Caphtor (''a-na Kap-ta-ra-i-im'') who received [[tin]] from [[Mari, Syria|Mari]]. Another Mari text from the same period mentions a Caphtorite weapon (''kakku Kap-ta-ru-ΓΊ''). Another records a Caphtorite object (''ka-ta-pu-um Kap-ta-ru-ΓΊ'') which had been sent by king [[Zimrilim]] of the same period, to king [[Shariya (king)]] of [[Razama]]. A text in connection with [[Hammurabi]] mentions Caphtorite (''k[a-a]p-ta-ri-tum'') fabric that was sent to Mesopotamia via Mari. An inventory thought to be from the same era as the previous texts mentions a Caphtorite vessel (''GAL kap-ta-ri-tum'') (probably a large jug or jar).<ref name="Strange"/>
