Summary

Description
Français : Inscription lapidaire de Shipitbaal, roi de Byblos - IXeme siècle avant JC - Byblos (Liban) - Calcaire coquiller - 48 x 69 x 26 cm - Musée national du Liban ( Beyrouth). Le cartel de l'œuvre (lors de l'exposition consacrée à la stèle de Mesha au Collège de France à Paris en 2018) indique : L'inscription de Shipitbaal a été retrouvée en 1935 sur une des pierres du mur qui soutenait l'ancienne acropole de Byblos. là étaient érigés les temples de Héryshef et de Hathor, la déesse égyptienne qui correspondait à la Dame de Byblos. L'inscription indique que le mur de soutènement a été construit (ou peut-être restauré) par le roi Shipitbaal, fils d'Elibaal et petit-fils de Yehimilk, qui régna sur Byblos au IX eme siècle avant notre ère. Comme c'est souvent le cas au Proche-Orient ancien, le roi demande à sa divinité tutélaire, ici la Dame de Byblos, de lui accorder un long règne en retour de ses efforts de construction. Avec d'autres inscriptions retrouvées à Byblos, celle de Shipitbaal montre que l'alphabet linéaire était utilisé par les rois phéniciens au début du premier millénaire avant notre ère,
English: Lapidary inscription of Shipitbaal, king of Byblos - 9th century BC - Byblos (Lebanon) - Shell limestone - 48 x 69 x 26 cm - National Museum of Lebanon (Beirut). The cartel of the work (during the exhibition dedicated to the Mesha stele at the Collège de France in Paris in 2018) indicates: The inscription of Shipitbaal was found in 1935 on one of the stones of the wall which supported the old one. Acropolis of Byblos. there were erected the temples of Héryshef and Hathor, the Egyptian goddess who corresponded to the Lady of Byblos. The inscription indicates that the retaining wall was built (or possibly restored) by King Shipitbaal, son of Elibaal and grandson of Yehimilk, who reigned over Byblos in the 9th century BC. As is often the case in the ancient Near East, the king asks his tutelary deity, here the Lady of Byblos, to grant him a long reign in return for his building efforts. Along with other inscriptions found in Byblos, that of Shipitbaal shows that the linear alphabet was used by the Phoenician kings at the beginning of the first millennium BC.
