Hieros Gamos

It is a dedication to Astarte made by Tefarié Velanas, the Etruscan king of Kisriye (Caere). He built a temple for this goddess in the time, that it is the month of offering to the sun. The king has also constructed a room in the temple for Astarte, because Astarte has married by his person in between  (’rš bdy) in the third year of his government in the month krr on the day of the funeral of the god. Who is this Hieros gamos? ---à Melqart.
