This contribution proposes an interpretation of a newly attested divine title of the ancient Arabian deity Ruḍaw, mkśd ‘(the one) from Chaldea’. It explores what sense this title could have had and its implications on our understanding of Ruḍaw's position in the ancient Arabian pantheon, especially in relation to Allāt. It also examines mentions of Ruḍaw in Islamic-period narrative sources and concludes that his cult likely disappeared by Islamic times; tales of the destruction of his cult site reflect the use of the ‘smashing idols’ topos to narrativize the passage from pre-Islam to Islam.

关于Ruḍaw神的起源和对前伊斯兰北阿拉伯万神殿的一些评论

这篇文章提出了对古代阿拉伯神 Ruḍaw 的新证明的神圣称号的解释，mkśd '（来自迦勒底的那个）'。它探讨了这个标题可能有什么意义，以及它对我们理解 Ruḍaw 在古代阿拉伯万神殿中的位置的影响，特别是与 Allāt 的关系。它还检查了伊斯兰时期叙事资料中对 Ruḍaw 的提及，并得出结论认为他的邪教很可能在伊斯兰时代消失了；他的邪教网站被毁的故事反映了使用“粉碎偶像”的托词来叙述从前伊斯兰教到伊斯兰教的过渡。
