It is impossible to determine whether this text is Early Sabaic or Minaic, as the inscriptions of the temple are in both languages. The temple was originally called Hdnn. Its inscriptions disappeared after Halévy's visit. This is probably a fragment of a dedicatory text, like all the other inscriptions on the pillars of the temple. |
