Abstract

This paper presents two new Nabataean inscriptions, which have come to light from Wd Ms near Petra. They were found accidentally in September 2009 by the writers of the article. Both mention the ancient Nabataean name of Wd Ms and one of them refers to the existence of a rb mrz', Head of the Symposium, there during the Nabataean period. The texts may be considered an important addition to the small gazetteer of Nabataean remains in Wd Ms, whose most important Nabataean remains are hidden beneath the modern village.
