“…Assuming an identification of the present inscription with the Shammar dhū‐Raydān from the late first century BC would imply by far the earliest evidence for Ẓafar being the capital of the Ḥimyarite kingdom. It is worth noting that Robin, in a previous study with Mounir Arbach, had assumed that Shammar dhū‐Raydān mentioned in the inscriptions RES 4336 and MQ‐dhū Nāʿim 1 is the same as Shamnar Yuhanʿim (dhū‐Raydān), the owner of the Ḥimyarite coins, who ruled during the period between 50–20 BC (see Arbach and Schiettecatte, 2017; Robin & Arbach, 2013).…”

This paper examines a new Qatabanian inscription, of a construction nature, that was found at Hajar al‐ʿĀdī in Wādī Ḥarīb, the site of the ancient town of Maryamah. This inscription is particularly important because its history dates back to the reign of a King Shammar Yuharʿish dhū‐Raydān, considered to be Shammar Yuharʿish, the king of Sabaʾ and dhū‐Raydān who ruled at the end of the third century CE. The inscription mentions the town of Ẓafār, the capital of Ḥimyar, and provides us with important data on the history of the kingdom of Qatabān, the history of the town of Maryamah, and the relationship of its people to the cities of the western and southern highlands during that important stage in the history of ancient Yemen. The hypothesis that the Shammar Yuharʿish dhū‐Raydān mentioned in the inscriptions from Maryamah is the same Shammar dhū‐Raydān from the inscription RES 4336 (to be dated 50–20 BC), as recently adopted by Christian Robin, will be discussed.

“…They found Rome mentioned in a text that palaeographically matched another inscription that mentioned the Ḥaḍramitic king Yashhurʾīl Yuharʿish, who is believed to have ruled at the same time as Shahr Yagill Yuhargib. They thereby interpreted RES 2999 as commemorating reconstruction following Aelius Gallus’s Roman expedition (Arbach & Schiettecatte, 2017: 690–693).…”

The Minaeans after Maʿīn? The latest presently dateable Minaic text and the God of Maʿīn

Historians of Ancient South Arabia have long questioned when the Minaean Kingdom collapsed and when the Minaean people disappeared thereafter. Scholarship presently leans towards dating the fall to sometime in the first century AD with the Minaeans dissipating shortly thereafter. Relevant for the question of the Minaeans’ disappearance is the Minaic RyIIIb stick inscription called L 53, which I decipher here. Based on a new paleographical dating system for RyIIIb inscriptions that I have developed, L 53 appears to date between the first to third centuries AD. This would make it the latest dateable Minaic text and quite possibly place its origins to after the fall of the Kingdom of Maʿīn. The text also contains the first attestations of the first person plural independent pronoun “we” nḥn in Ancient South Arabian in addition to a new divine moniker “the God of Maʿīn” (ʾlh mʿn). L 53 therefore might attest to a continuing Minaean linguistic and religious identity after the fall of their kingdom, which may be corroborated by Ptolemy’s statement that the Minaeans were a “great people” in the second century AD.

The aim of this work is to analyse the critical cruces about some geographical locations in reference to the western coast and the inland parts of the South Arabian and Nabataean area. In detail, the purpose of this research is to investigate the probable location of the port of Leuke Kome through a comparison between an epigraphic source written in Safaitic and some indication in Strabo’s account of the expedition of Aelius Gallus to Arabia Felix. In addition, a new reading of another Safaitic inscription mentioning a curious S1ly (Silleus?) could help to better understand some details of the Roman Arabian campaign too.
