- Abstract
Our Sabaic inscription bears the siglum mb 2006 i-54 (fig. 2) and records an offering of a bronze statuette dedicated to the Sabaean god Almaqah at the Awām temple/Maḥram Bilqīs, near Maʾrib, Yemen (Maraqten 2015: 109–135). Item Description: Base of a statuette, now missing, inscribed on one face. The inscription, canted slightly downwards and is engraved between double, lightly-incised horizontal double-lines. The face of the stone is polished; the top surface, where the statuette would have been attached, is broken away and the first line is mostly lost. The lower left corner is broken away and some parts of the stone edges are slightly damaged. The text is intact apart from few lost letters in the first line. Although the upper part of the inscription is partly lost, its reconstruction, as indicated in the transcription, is possible with reference to line 11. This 14 lines inscription has been discovered during the ninth afsm season, 2006 in the Annex of the Awām temple and is reused in the pavement. The measurements of this inscribed block are as follows: 35×22cm; letter height: 1.5×1.7cm. Almaqah curved club symbol occurs at beginning of line one and two; the upper part is broken. Present location of the inscription is the Awām Temple and still in situ (fig. 1, 2).
