Khita ruled from Susa

Khita, sometimes Hita in Elamite (𒄭𒋫𒀀 hi-ta-a),[3] was governor of Susa and the 11th king of the Awan Dynasty of Elam, around 2280 BCE.[4][3][5] He was most likely the grandfather of the famous Elamite ruler Kutik-Inshushinak, who succeeded him on the throne.[6]

Elam had been under the domination of Akkad, at least temporarily, since the time of Sargon.[7] Khita is probably recorded as having signed a peace treaty with Naram-Sin of Akkad, stating: "The enemy of Naram-Sin is my enemy, the friend of Naram-Sin is my friend".[5][1][2] The inscription was discovered in Susa.[2] It has been suggested that the formal treaty allowed Naram-Sin to have peace on his eastern borders, so that he could deal more effectively with the threat from 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]
