=== Ahhiyawa texts ===
The [[Achaeans (Homer)|Ahhiyawa]] texts include correspondences between unnamed Mycenaean ''wánaxes'' and the [[Hittites|Hittite kingdom]]. One such text from the collection, known as the ''Tawagalawa Letter'', was composed from the King of Hatti to an unnamed Mycenaean ''wánax'', and contained diplomatic correspondences regarding a man by the name of Piyamaradu, who had acted against the [[Hittites|Hittite]] King; and that the ''wánax'' should either return him or reject him.<ref name=":6" /> The same text informs that the unnamed ''wánax'' had previously been in conflict with the Hittites over the territory of [[Wilusa]]'','' though there is no further conflict between them.<ref name=":6" /> The Hittite King refers to the ''wánax'' not by title but as "brother" in these texts, a common practice in the ancient Near East in diplomatic correspondences with powers viewed as equal participants in interregional status. Another text which is heavily fragmented was sent by a ''wánax'' to the King of Hatti (likely [[Muwatalli II|Muwattalli II]]) concerning the ownership of islands.<ref name=":6" />
