“The significance of these inscriptions is considerable: they testify to the foundation of a site on the Somali coast well before any ancient coastal occupations known so far; they attest the presence of Sabaeans in this region of the Horn of Africa, clearly for commercial purposes and upon the orders of the Sabaean kings; they provide evidence of both the worship of a god otherwise nearly unknown in South Arabia, and the construction of a temple dedicated to him.” Reference Alessia Prioletta, Christian Julien Robin, Jérémie Schiettecatte, Iwona Gajda, Khaldūn Hazzāʿ Nuʿmān.
