This article covers the donation of a collection of stone monuments to the 'Königliche Museen zu Berlin' by Rudolf Mosse (1843-1920), which Eduard Glaser (1855-1908) had brought together during his third journey to Yemen (October 1887-September 1888). The present article was also published on July 17th, 1891, in 'Der Gemeindebote', supplement of 'Allgemeine Zeitung des Judenthums'.
The author assesses the artefacts as 'all the more important as the branch of Oriental antiquity in question is only poorly represented both here and in other European museums'.
The donation encompasses 33 inscription stones and 3 alabaster heads which Rudolf Mosse left to the Royal Museums as a gift, with the express intention of promoting Oriental studies in Germany.
The main piece of the collection is an inscription of 23 lines containing a treaty of alliance between three kings: the Sabaean King ʿAlhân, Gadarat, the king of the Ethiopians, and (Yadi'ab) Ghailan; king of Ḥaḍramawt.
