ORIGIN AND PROVENANCE

| Ancient site | Qrnw |
| Geographical area | Jawf - Wādī Madhab |
| Country | Yemen |
| Notes | It was generally accepted that the inscriptions Maʿīn 93-Maʿīn 98 were in the extra muros temple of ʿṯtr ḏ-Qbḍm. However, Halévy's silence on this topic and the disappearance of the stelae suggested an original location inside the town (Bron 1998 a: 102), which was recently verified when Fontaine and Arbach there found the top of a pillar with an unknown inscription of the same kind (Fontaine and Arbach 2006: 115, fig. 26). |
