Abstract
The aim of this article is to republish, reread and interpret an Arabic inscription from the Black Desert, north-eastern Jordan, to shed light on the practice of the dating system used before the Umayyad era, in which the dating of the inscription is linked to a specific event. The inscription was re-discovered by the present authors during the 2019 Badia Epigraphic Survey. It dates to the death of Hishām, who, as can be assumed, is the Umayyad caliph Hishām b. ʿAbd al-Malik (r. 724–743CE). In addition, this paper argues that according to the epigraphic records, when a caliph died, his title was removed.
哈拉的铭文遗产:来自约旦东北部黑沙漠的阿拉伯涂鸦,指的是倭马亚哈里发Hishām b. al - Malik
本文的目的是重新发布、重读和解释来自约旦东北部黑沙漠的阿拉伯语铭文,以阐明倭马亚王朝时代之前使用的测年系统的实践,其中铭文的测年与特定事件有关。在2019年巴迪亚铭文调查期间,现任作者重新发现了该铭文。它可以追溯到Hishām的死亡,可以假设,他是倭马亚哈里发Hishām b. al . Abd al-Malik(公元724-743CE)。此外,本文认为,根据铭文记载,当哈里发去世时,他的头衔被取消。
