Abstract

This paper studies a group of inscriptions and rock drawings from Ṭūr al-Qawwās in the Ḥismā desert (Saudi Arabia). These include two Nabataean and three Hismaic inscriptions, in addition to a Hismaic/Nabataean bilingual. The presence of Hismaic and Nabataean texts carved side by side as well as this new ANA/Nabataean bilingual raise the question of the linguistic diversity in northern Arabia and that of the relationships between the Nabataeans and their nomadic neighbours. From the point of view of Nabataean grammar, the texts provide us with new lexical items at the same time as they illustrate a new example of an optative use of the prefix conjugation. One of the inscriptions is a prayer to Dushara that exhibits a unique religious formula requesting the deity’s protection. Leading to reflect on the association of rock art with Nabataean inscriptions, the drawings are also of interest. They include a rare representation of a bird, possibly an eagle, which could find its source of influence in the Nabataean sculpture. Just as interesting are a cameleer dressed with izār and ridāʾ, and the figure of a saddled equid which suggests, for the first time, an occasional employment of horse saddles among the Nabataeans.

来自Tabūk(沙特阿拉伯)西北部Ḥismā沙漠的一些纳巴泰语、希斯迈语和希斯迈语/纳巴泰语的岩画铭文
本文对沙特阿拉伯Ḥismā沙漠Ṭūr al-Qawwās出土的一组铭文和岩画进行了研究。这些包括两个纳巴泰语和三个西班牙语铭文,以及一个西班牙语/纳巴泰语双语。希斯迈语和纳巴泰语文本并排雕刻的存在,以及这个新的ANA/纳巴泰语双语的存在,提出了阿拉伯北部语言多样性的问题,以及纳巴泰人和他们的游牧邻居之间关系的问题。从纳巴泰语语法的角度来看,这些文本为我们提供了新的词汇项目,同时也说明了前缀共轭的可选使用的新例子。其中一个铭文是对杜沙拉的祈祷,它展示了一种独特的宗教公式,要求神的保护。这些图画也引起了人们对岩石艺术与纳巴泰铭文的联系的思考。其中包括一只罕见的鸟的代表,可能是一只鹰,这可以在纳巴泰雕塑中找到它的影响来源。同样有趣的是一个穿着izār和ridar的骆驼车夫,以及一个有马鞍的马的形象,这第一次表明纳巴泰人偶尔会使用马鞍。

期刊介绍: In recent years the Arabian peninsula has emerged as one of the major new frontiers of archaeological research in the Old World. Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy is a forum for the publication of studies in the archaeology, epigraphy, numismatics, and early history of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Both original articles and short communications in English, French, and German are published, ranging in time from prehistory to the Islamic era.
