I can not find a match for Attarimma, except the name
appears to be similar in style to Appa-> liuna. As in
Atta-rimma, or lord-mother of something. It looks a
little like Artemis.<

I think I need to change Halicarnassus for Huwarsanassa.
Halicarnassus is far too south along the coast to have been
included in this text. Because of the association with actions
taken by the people of Suruda Huwarsanassa must be located
in the Hermus basin near Sardis. What is interesting is that
the name of this Huwarsan- district ends with -assa. Might this
suggest an Tyrrhenian or Pelasgian affiliation as
well?
