This inscription is engraved on the rock façade of the religious complex at the Jabal Sāq, near ancient Dadan, comprising a group of Sabaic inscriptions dating between the 8th and the 4th centuries BCE. This is a construction text for the god ʾlmqh, written during the reign of the Sabaean king Ydʿʾl. The name of the author is partially erased, but the visible traces are compatible with the name Ṣbḥhmw of the Rs²wn family, from the city of Nashq in the Yemeni Jawf. This inscription records a commercial journey to Egypt and Dadan and mentions the safe dispatch of goods to Cyprus during a war in Ionia. The text shows close formulaic and thematic correspondences with Demirjian 1, a lengthy inscription on a bronze plaque decorated with Neo-Assyrian-style figures, dedicated in the Ancient South Arabian temple of ʾlmqh bʿl Myfʿm. Both inscriptions share the narrative sequence concerning the northward commercial journey (described in greater detail in Demirjian 1, but without mention of Egypt), the dispatch of goods to Cyprus ("the Cypriots" in the present text, vs. "Kition" in Demirjian 1) from Gaza (mentioned only in Demirjian 1), and the war of Ionia, which has been indentified with the conflict between the Persians and Euagoras I (386-381 BCE; see the Cultural Notes of Demirjian 1). The differences between the two texts concern primarily the scope of the narrative, which is broader in Demirjian 1, including military campaigns, diplomatic missions, and the honours received by the king for his services. This suggests that Demirjian 1 was likely composed at the end of the author's career, i.e. later than the inscription left at Dadan, which constitutes the in-situ record of his presence at the site. The king Ydʿʾl mentioned in al-Dhayyib and al-Masʿūd 23 is Ydʿʾl Byn son of Yṯʿʾmr, mentioned in full in Demirjian 1.
