Add article description

The Wilmanns Neopunic inscriptions are five Neopunic inscriptions discovered in 1873–74 in Ottoman Tunisia by Gustav Heinrich Wilmanns and published in 1876 by Julius Euting.[1]

Henchir Brigitta inscription, KAI 142, Neo-Punic 123
Altiburus (Henchir Medeina) inscription, KAI 159, Neo-Punic 124
Bordj Helal inscription, KAI 139, Neo-Punic 125
Neo-Punic 126 and 127

The first three are known as KAI 139, 142 and 159. The numbering used by Euting (123-127) followed from his 1871 publication Punischen Steinen.
