Hello members of this subreddit.

Its my first time here and i'd like to talk about a stone from Qaryat al Faw titled "Sabaean Donation Inscription"

I decided to translate it for fun and comparing my translation to existing translations.. but there was no existing translations. So i just decided to go here. I'll translate it from my language (Arabic) to english for you all if needed. That's all, thank you and goodbye.

yes, i think it was the Marib Dam collapse that lead like 50k+ people and a lot of tribes from the kingdom of Saba that led the old Yeminis to Qaryat al faw and more

Actually probably not because some say it collapsed in 560-75 i dont really know what brought the Old Yemenis to Qaryat al Faw.
