摘要

Qaryatum dhāt Kāhlim("[神] Kahl 之城")是现代 Qaryat al-Fāw 遗址的古南阿拉伯名称。这个复合词指的是该城的守护神,在这里是指一个叫 Kahl 的神。然而,这个 Kahl 的身份并不明确。这位在公元前第一个千年后半期末出现在历史中的神究竟是谁呢? 尽管他的名字被记录在各种文本中,而且许多物品上的铭文也证实了他是这座城市的守护神,但有关他的属性或影响范围的信息却很少。不过,我们可以从印有他肖像的钱币中找到一些有关他特征的线索。这可以作为探索与该地区岩画、雕像和绘画中的神像可能存在的联系的跳板,表明卡尔可能符合在更广泛的东地中海地区盛行的 "肆虐之神 "或 "威胁之神 "的原型。

Qaryat al-Fāw/Qaryatum dhāt Kāhilim: On the identity of the god Kahl

Qaryatum dhāt Kāhilim (‘the City of [the god] Kahl’) is the Ancient South Arabian name of the modern site of Qaryat al-Fāw. This compound refers to the tutelary deity of the city, in this case, a god called Kahl. However, the identity of this Kahl is obscure. Who is this god that makes his appearance in history towards the end of the second half of the first millennium bc? Despite his name being recorded in various texts and inscriptions on numerous objects that confirm his role as the city's patron god, scant information exists regarding his attributes or sphere of influence. Nonetheless, clues on some of his characteristics can be gleaned from coins bearing his likeness. This serves as a springboard for exploring potential connections with iconographies seen in petroglyphs, statues and paintings from the region, suggesting that Kahl may fit within the archetype of the smiting or menacing god, a prevalent motif in the broader Eastern Mediterranean region.
