ϹΩΜΟϹ

The temple at Cadasa (Tel Qedesh) appears to be dedicated to the god Baalshamin based on epigraphical evidence and two carved images of eagles found at the site. The meaning of the letters of this inscription is unclear. An alternate possible reading is ΒΩΜΟϹ. The "Ω" found in the inscription is actually a majuscule-sized minuscule omega (that is, a large ω). A figure of a "draped, bearded head, radiate," which may represent Baalshamin is present under the inscription. Dating is informed by the inscription on the alternate side of the altar; see kede0001.
