Monumentum Adulitanum

A monument at Adulé in Aethiopia on a bay of the Red Sea, bearing inscriptions in Greek letters, commemorating the tribute received from the Arabs and Aethiopians by Ptolemy Euergetes (B.C. 247-222), and also the conquests of a certain Aethiopian king whose name is not given. The monument is of white marble in the shape of a throne. The inscriptions were copied in the sixth century A.D. by Cosmas Indicoplcustes, and have been edited by Buttmann in the Museum der Alterthumswissenschaft. ii. 1, p. 105.
