Boasting with so and so many warlike deeds in one year is first attested in inscriptions of Naram-Sin, inaugurating a mainly Mesopotamian tradition, but recurring in the trilingual inscriptions of Darius I at Bisitun too. In an Old Hittite tale there is some sort of a female counterpart: The queen of Kaniš gives birth to 30 sons in one year. Much later an Urartian king uses the warlike topos, and the more or less contemporary new Late Luwian inscription of Hartapus has it almost certainly too. A similar topos are deeds in one day, mainly attested before 2000 BC and later in Urartu. Last came two Greek examples in Lycia, deeds in one day and in one month, most proba-bly triggered by the example of Darius. Treated are also a few pictorial representations from Anubanini around 2000 BC to the Inscribed Pillar of Xanthos in the late 5th century BC.
