Idalion Temple inscriptions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Idalion Temple inscriptions in the Corpus Inscriptionum Semiticarum (CIS I 89–94)

The Idalion Temple inscriptions are six Phoenician inscriptions found by Robert Hamilton Lang in his excavations at the Temple of Idalion (modern Dali, Cyprus) in 1869,[1] whose work there had been inspired by the discovery of the Idalion Tablet in 1850.[2][3] The most famous of these inscriptions is known as the Idalion bilingual. The Phoenician inscriptions are known as KAI 38-40 and CIS I 89-94.

They are currently at the British Museum.[4] The discovery was first announced by Paul Schröder in 1872.[4][5]
