Hidyab before Christ

Some gaps are filled about the Natûnissar Kert.

This is near (but not on) Lower Zab - then "Kapros" - bordering classical Adiabene. It's all Hidyab to the Church, where our boy Ishoyahb will become metropolitan/arch- bishop. Nowadays that's the Arbela region although back then the kingdom may have included Kirkuk. Probably not Nineveh.

The site is real; the question is whether this is "Natounia" - not the border of Hidyab but its capital.
