    For the most part our sources were based on the collected inscriptions of the Sabaeans and a number of dictionaries I've been fortunate enough to acquire. Archaeology and a few other linguistic sources have helped as well.

    ........phish?
    Phish wasn't around back then.
    "It is an error to divide people into the living and the dead: there are people who are dead-alive, and people who are alive_alive. The dead-alive also write, walk, speak, atc. But they make no mistakes; only machines make no mistakes, and they produce only dead things. The alive-alive are constantly in error, in search, in questions, in torment." - Yevgeny Zamyatin

    There are a few good books about southern arabia but the best sources in english are the archeological stuides published by AFSM which include both artifacts and inscriptions. Most good university libraries will have copies of some of the stuides if you're interested, you'll probably be the first person to take them out in 40 years though. At Brown I was the first person ever to take our one of the volumes, which is kind of amazing considering it was published in the late 50's.

    Check the EB bibliography link on the first page of the main forum. There are lots of suggestions there.

    The Qur'an might have something about Arabia, but I'm not sure.

    Though, you know, it would be about eight centuries removed from the EB timeline...
