[QUOTE]Originally posted by Yom: [QB] This is what I've been able to find out. First let me quote my earlier point about the dating. [QUOTE]The earliest Sabaic inscriptions appear some time in the [b]8th cent. B.C.[/b], while the first (longer) written documents in Sabaic that [b]can be dated reliably on the basis of **synchrony** with *Assyrian sources** go back to the beginning of the 7th cent. B.C.[/b] The first [b]Minaic[/b] inscriptions appear, even though [b]in smaller numbers, of **the same time as the first Sabaic texts.[/b][/QUOTE]The synchronicity refers to a 692 BC tribute paid by a certain Karibil to an Assyrian ruler named Sennacherib. During the Assyrian's predecessor's name, a certain Ita'amru is mentioned is mentioned as paying tribute, perhaps referring to a Sabaean mukarrib named Yitha'amar. The D`mt mukarrib W`rn Hywt is a contemporary of a certain Karibil (not sure if "Watar" was mentioned), referring either to the above Karibil, or to a later 6th century one, and another synchronism occurs with the mention under LMN (3rd king after W`rn Hywt) of a Sabaean ruler named Sumhualay. My guess is that Sima has associated the D`mt king with the one mentioned in Assyrian sources, though I'm not sure of this. To further complicate matters, Nebes mentions D`mt as having ESA inscriptions in the early 7th c. BC (whereas Sima dated it to 8th c. and 7th c. BC). [/QB][/QUOTE]
