| Notes: | In this photograph, CIH 37 appears to be in fragmentary form, with only the top two lines of text preserved. In the photograph of the inscription published in the DASI archive (http://dasi.humnet.unipi.it/), however, we have a further six lines, plus a small portion of a seventh line. To be sure, there are instances in which multiple copies of a text were made, most notably the series of 16 inscriptions of the Sabaean king ʿAlhān Nahfān (r. ca. 195-210 CE) erected at Jabal Riyām (CIH 380 etc.). However, there are slight textual variants in that series of inscriptions, whereas here in the inscription of King Yuhʿān Dhubyān bin Yismāʿʾīl of Sumʿay the text in the photograph and in the DASI photograph are identical, in addition to which the damages to the stone appear in the same places in both photographs. Despite this, there are no traces in the DASI photograph of a break in CIH 37 after the second line of text. On these grounds, it would appear that the black-and-white photograph published here was for some reason cut from a larger photograph. |
