Abstract


An analysis of the main sentence in votive dedications in Ancient Aramaic shows that there were, as early as 9th century BC, some patterns peculiar to Aramaic in opposition to those of the Assyrian language as it is shown in comparing the Aramaic and Assyrian texts of the statue of Hadyiṯ‛i. In Aramaic two principal patterns are used: šm [śym] qdm N and šm l-, both followed by the name of a divinity or a person. These two patterns appear to reflect two different settings -inside or outside- in the dedication of a temple. Other verbs used in dedications are also examined. The verb šm [śym] is the most frequently attested in opposition to the verb qwm mostly used in later Aramaic votive inscriptions.
