The Minaeans beyond Ma‘īn
No full textIn the first millennium BC, the South Arabian kingdom of Ma'īn was involved in trading activity along the trans-Arabian routes. Nearly seventy monumental inscriptions written in the Minaic language come from the oases of al-'Ulā, Madā'in Sālih, and Qaryat al-Fāw (in modern Saudi Arabia), and from Egypt and Delos. This epigraphic corpus, labelled ‘Marginal Minaic’, is not merely the testimony of the economic relationships binding the South Arabian states with the rest of the Near East and the Mediterranean. The paper presents a comparative analysis of the cultural and textual features of these inscriptions. Similarities and divergences with respect to the documentation from the motherland, especially in textual models, lexicon, and formulae, are highlighted. The study enables the evaluation of the extent of language contact and cultural integration in different environments; at the same time, the role of the writing schools is appreciated in relation to the strategies enacted by the state or local communities in order to preserve their cultural identity and political cohesion in a foreign milieu
From city-state to kingdom: history and chronology of Ma‘în between the VIII and the VI centuries BC
No full textThe date of appearance and the origins of the South Arabian kingdom of Ma‘īn are still debated among scholars. In this paper we propose an outline of Ma‘īn’s ancient history, between the VIII and the VI centuries BC, providing arguments in favour of the hypothesis of its endogenous formation, contemporaneous with the other political entities of the Jawf. We will analyse historical dynamics and events from Ma‘īn’s first attestations as a city-state in the documentary sources, through a period of expansion of its control over the Jawf, until the confederation with the tribe of Yathill, which started Ma‘īn’s hegemony in the valley. This led to the take-over of international trade from South Arabia, marked by clashes with Saba’. An essay of chronological reconstruction of the royal sequence is provided, with references to all significant texts. Among these, two new inscriptions attesting ancient kings’ names are published: Ma‘īn 112 and 113. The first is probably the most archaic Minaic text known to date

Official Inscriptions of the Middle East in Antiquity
Full text linkThe LMU Munich-based Official Inscriptions of the Middle East in Antiquity (OIMEA) project is one of the two principal, digital text corpora of the Munich Openaccess Cuneiform Corpus Initiative (MOCCI), which is a freely accessible digital humanities umbrella project established by Karen Radner and Jamie Novotny in the fall of 2015. This international project – which includes research partners in Philadelphia, Barcelona, and Rome – aims to edit all available official inscriptions of ancient Middle Eastern polities, recorded in the cuneiform script and contemporary writing systems, in a freely accessible, fully lemmatized (lexical and grammatical data tagging), and completely searchable format via the Open Richly Annotated
Cuneiform Corpus (Oracc) project. In addition, OIMEA plans to make geo-referenced text editions available through its Ancient Records of Middle Eastern Polities (ARMEP) map interface, which is developed in collaboration with LMU’s Center for Digital Humanities
