Mane (ancient city)

Mane was an ancient city in what is today Syria and northern Iraq. Its exact location remains unknown,[1] though it was north of Nineveh.[2][3] During the Battle of Nineveh (612 BC), it was besieged.[4] The chronicle of Aššur-uballit II, known as Chronicle 3,[5] states of the Battle of Nineveh between Babylonian and Assyrian armies that

"in the month Âbu the king of Akkad and his army went upstream to Mane, Sahiri and Bali-hu. He plundered them, sacked them extensively and abducted their gods."[6][7]
