1KUR.É-ḫu-um-bé-e “the land Bīt-Ḫumbê”: This is the only attestation of a KUR.É-ḫu-um-bé-e in the corpus of Neo-Assyrian royal inscriptions. However, a ruler of the city Bīt-Zualzaš by the name of Ḫumbê appears in Sargon II’s eighth-campaign inscription (Frame, RINAP 2 p. 281 no. 65 line 46), which reports on that king’s incursion into Urarṭu. Given this, A. Bagg (Rép. Géogr. 7/3–1 p. 131) has suggested that Bīt-Ḫumbê here is a reference to Bīt-Zualzaš.
