Humban-Numena (or Kumban-Numena) was a king of Elam from the Igihalkid dynasty (Middle Elamite Period, mid-14th century BCE). He was a son and successor of King Attar-kittah.[a] He married a daughter of the Kassite king Kurigalzu,[2][4] who bore him Untash-Napirisha,[b] who was thus a grandson of Kurigalzu.[7][6] According to another interpretation of the primary source, he married the daughter of his uncle Pahir-ishshan, himself the son of a Kassite princess, and was thus a great-grandson of Kurigalzu.[1][8]
^ As attested in his inscriptions from temples in Liyan and in Susa.[3]
^He is mentioned as the father of King Untash-Napirisha in a later inscription of King Shilhak-Inshushinak and in the so-called Berlin letter, a Neo-Babylonian copy of a diplomatic letter sent from Elam to Babylon, where it is also recorded that his mother was the daughter of Kurigalzu[5][6]
