Son of Baalshillek marble base
Punic language inscription
The Son of Baalshillek marble base is a Punic language inscription on a marble statue base discovered in 1856–58 at Carthage in Tunisia.
It was first published by Nathan Davis, and the one-line inscription is known as KAI 84 and CIS I 178.
Davis wrote that "This tablet is peculiar, as well for its material (white marble) as for its inscription. The plain square may have served as the base of a statuette,—the subject of the epitaph on the edges, of which two only have been preserved."[1]
It is held in the archives of the British Museum, as BM 125217.[2]
