Person
Yehimilk
Yehimilk was a king of Byblos in the tenth century BCE. His Phoenician inscription, discovered in 1930, records that he restored the ruined temples of the city and asks the gods to prolong his life. It is one of the earliest royal inscriptions in the Phoenician alphabet and a key source for the early history of alphabetic writing.
