The lone tablet discovered very recently at Terqa and published in 1977 by G. Buccellati (G. Buccellati, “A Cuneiform Tablet of the Early Second Millennium B.C.”, Syro-Mesopotamian Studies, Vol. I:4, pp. 135–142, (1977)) shows that Ebla may have administered other cities sometime in the past as well. On the basis of this single discovery and the impetus provided by the Ebla finds, the Terqa team will no doubt make every effort to discover the Terqa Archives.

In 1966, before Ebla was identified, U. Bahadir Alkim made the following remark:
