Khita ruled from Susa
Khita, sometimes Hita in
Kutik-Inshushinak, who succeeded him on the throne.[6]
Elam had been under the domination of
Gutium.[5]
Further study of the treaty suggests that Khita provided Elamite troops to Naram-Sin, that he married his daughter to the Akkadian king, and that he agreed to set up statues of Naram-Sin in the sanctuaries of Susa.[5] As a matter of fact, it is well known that Naram-Sin had extreme influence over Susa during his reign, building temples and establishing inscriptions in his name, and having the Akkadian language replace Elamite in official documents.[4]
This inscription is the first known official document in the Elamite language, but using the Akkadian cuneiform script.[3] It was set up in the temple of Inshushinak in Susa.[3]
