CUTHA, an ancient city in Mesopotamia, mentioned in the Bible but not certainly identified with any site. Sir Henry Raw linson identified it with the mound Tell Ibrahim, 20 m. N. of Kish and 35 m. S.E. of Sippar. The mound is 6o ft. high and two miles in circumference. Cutha was devoted to the cult of Nergal, the god of the lower world. This deity was worshipped in every Sumerian city, and Cutha, because of its sanctity, seems to have been kept in repair by all Sumerian and Semitic rulers down to the last few centuries before the Christian era.
