An Interpretation of the Old Byblian Inscriptions: Elibaal, Shipitbaal, and the Azarbaal Spatula
I.Elibaal (KAI 6) and Shipitbaal (KAI 7) Inscriptions
A.Historical, Political, and Cultural Context
The Elibaal inscription was the third Old Byblian inscription discovered after
1
those of Abibaal and Ahiram were found in the early 20th century. It was discovered in the temple of Baalat Gubla “The Lady of Byblos,”
where it was used as a votive offering. The French archaeologist Rene Dussaud ?rst translated and published it in 1925. The
2
inscription is written across the abdomen of a statue of Pharaoh Osorkon I. Elibaal may have received the statue as a gift from the Pharaoh to be dedicated to Baalat Gubla in her temple.
Egyptian in?uence in Byblos dates from before the Egyptian Old Kingdom (2705-2250 B.C.).
Archaeological evidence points toward a trade in timber between Egypt and Byblos, already ?ourishing by the 27th century,
when the temple of Baalat Gubla was built. The long-standing political and economic relationship with Egypt was
3
also re?ected in the religious practice at Byblos.
Archaeologists have noted Egyptian in?uence on the architecture of the temple of Baalat Gubla,
but whether Egyptian or Phoenician priests maintained her cult at Byblos is uncertain. Baalat is most likely
4
equated to the Egyptian goddess Hathor, a mother goddess and the goddess of foreign lands,
who would have protected the timber trade, so vital to Egyptian building projects.

Thus, the worship of Baalat Gubla would have had a singular, enduring importance at Byblos.
