These separate proclamations read: “ Engraved notice: Mada, the 
regent under Coz, receives Yahdai the conqueror of Coz (Xois).. En- 
graved notice: intimation of the death of Lasada, the father of Reshah. 
Whether or not these two inscriptions should be connected it is hard 
to say. If they should, it would appear that Mada, the Moabite, who 
was regent in Xois, had welcomed Yahdai to the conquest of the Xoite 
kingdom, and that Laadah had perished in the warfare which thus 
terminated. Henceforth, according to the Phrygian story of Cybebe, 
Mareshah or Marsyas became the champion and faithful attendant of 
Zobebah, as Laadah had been of her husband Yahdai. Mr. Forster’s 
32, also from the Wady Mokkateb, furnishes information regarding 
Mada. This is it: ; 
No. IX. kishiki ma kumimata be kubekurarashi 
be ku mada kishi ya ko dzu yo. 
It reads : 
kiza ki ma kumi mito be Kubeku Rarashi 
engraving does give league king under Kubeku Rarasht 
waka Mada Kishiya ko dzu yo 
separates Mada Kisaye son succeeding from 
In English : “ The carving sets forth that the Kubeku, under the king 
of the League, separates Rarasa from Mada, the son and successor of 
Kisaye. 
Without at present enquiring for the site of Rarasa and into the rival 
claims of Mada and the Kubeku to it, we turn to Mr. Forster’s 89 from 
the Four Wadis. Its legend is: 
No. X. kishi ya mo ya 
be o mo ba ma ta dzu dzu nabe 
This reads: 
‘Kisaye Moa- 
Kisaye Moa- 
be omo Bamota dzudzu nabe 
-b chief Bamoth head lord.
