The article presents a Nabataean text inscribed in raised relief on a bronze plate and dated to the seventh year of the Nabataean king Aretas IV (3 BC). The text is significant since it mentions the dedication of a water well/cistern by Aretas, to his god Dushara, the God of Gaia “for the life of himself and his wife ḥldw, queen of the Nabataeans, and their daughter pṣʾl.” The paper includes a commentary on the vocabulary of the text and sheds some light on water and its association with the cult in Nabataea. In addition, it provides some details about ḥldw, queen of the Nabataeans and pṣʾl, the daughter of Aretas and ḥldw, allowing an update of the Nabataean royal family tree.

“… See the detailed discussion in Milik & Starcky, : 114. It has also been claimed that the Nabataean Pṣʾl represents the Arab name Fayṣal (Khairy, : 2l3; Al‐Fassi, : 40, n. 113). This is of course incorrect.…”

This article focuses on an unpublished Hismaic (Thamudic E) inscription housed in the Amman Museum (AMJ 2/J.14202), which was discovered in 1981 by W.J. Jobling in the area of Wadı Ramm, south-western Jordan. The text presents some interest for the study of the history and language of the nomadic tribes who lived in southern Transjordan and northern Arabia in antiquity, as it represents a rare example of an inscription carved by a woman and because it contains the first attestation, in Hismaic, of the feminine singular form of the relative pronoun ḏ.

Khirbat as-Samrā Cemetery: A Question of Dating-35 -20 th century (PPUAES II.A: 70-77; PPUAES III.A: 221-42), who recorded and identified the first fragments at Ḥallābāt, many of which have since been lost 5 . At that time it was not possible to recover the full text, other than some fragments, since the majority of the inscribed stones were hidden under the fallen ashlars of the destroyed qasr.A large number of new inscribed blocks came to light when the Department of Antiquities of Jordan, under the direction of Dr Ghazi Bisheh, undertook clearance and excavation work at Qaṣr al-Ḥallābāt between 1979 and 1984. The decipherment of these new documents was undertaken at that time by the French scholar Jean Marcillet-Jaubert, who published an expanded reading of the Greek text of the Anastasius edict.A new impetus to proceed with the reconstruction of the text was given by the excavation, restoration and museum project Qaṣr al-Ḥallābāt -from Late Antiquity to the Advent of Islam: the Excavation, Restoration and Museum Project (2002 -2013) (Ignacio Arce) 16. Anastasius Edict Part I (lines 1-100). Infographic restitution by Mr. Ignacio Moscoso.
