[QUOTE]Originally posted by Supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Yom: ^^^Wholly as in didn't exist in AD times.[/QUOTE]I guess you earlier statement talking about 1st millennium [b]BC[/b] must have been a typo, unless I'm missing something here. [QUOTE]Yom: Regarding the inscriptions, none of the Sabaean ones seem to be public in nature (e.g. the worshipping one I referenced), [b]so I don't know where you get that idea from.[/b][/QUOTE]Are you then suggesting that the inscriptions in "Pure" Sabean, would have been for the benefit of the locals? [QUOTE]Yom: As I noted earlier, the title "mukarrib," [b]does not necessarily mean priest-king[/b]. That was the earlier view of the terms meaning, but the terms meaning is actually uncertain.[/QUOTE]People are talking about the mentioning of "mukarrib" on the inscriptions, and you keep referring to the 'meaning' of the term. [QUOTE]Yom: [QUOTE]Supercar: However, I have not heard of Sabean inscriptions in some "Ethiopic" language, alongside "pure" Sabean in south Arabia itself. [/QUOTE]What does this have to do with anything?[/QUOTE]Paying carefull attention to ongoing exchanges simply cannot be overemphasized. This is another point that favors a Sabean introduction of ESA in the Pre-Aksumite plateau, not to mention puts to question, the notion that the Pre-Aksumite complex would have been dominant over the South Arabian Saba complex, whereby the ESA would have been introduced from the Pre-Aksumites to the Sabeans. [QUOTE]Yom: There obviously weren't Ethiopians in Saba' back then ([b]this reply should be addressed to Clyde, not me[/b]). Besides, [b]Sabaean was still used by Abraha in his inscription on the Marib Dam, even though he was an Aksumite and it was an Aksumite province.[/b][/QUOTE]Concerning the first point, its relevancy to your comment has been state in the post above; please reference it. Pertaining to the second highlighted piece, I say,...exactly! This fellow of "Abyssinian/Ethiopian" origin used "Sabean" language in the South Arabian script, even though the region would have been under the Aksumite control. No "Ethiopic" language has been identified side by side with "pure" Sabean in South Arabia itself; none that has been brought to my attention, that could date to about the same era as the Pre-Aksumite period.
