The
Neo-Punic Dedication of the Ammonium at Ras el-Haddagia in Libya
The most
beautiful Neo-Punic inscription was found here by Mathuisieulx in 1901.
It was made
by probably Libyans during the Roman period, but they made use of the Neo-Punic
alphabet.
Translation:
“To the
Lord Ammon, this (is the) beautiful(?) idol (=statue of the god) and the
sanctuary of his temples and the porticoes, which were built and dedicated in
the year of the proconsul over Africa : Lucius
Aelius Lamia by T/NKSF son of Shasidwasan/t, son of T/Namrar, who belongs to
the sons of Masinkaw, with their annexes, at his expense.”
