The Mitsri genealogy inscription, known as KAI 78 or CIS I 3778, is a votive stele from Carthage in the Punic language.
[2] The inscription was originally attached to a statue of Baal-Hammon, and is dated to the fourth century BCE.
[3] It is remarkable because it traces back the lineage of a certain Baalay, who put up the statue, for no less than sixteen generations, spanning a period of at least four centuries.
Two of Baalay's forefathers, three and four generations before him, had high functions in Carthage as a General (rab) and a head of state (suffes), respectively.
Probably portraying the new and full moon, the symbol seems to refer to the passage of time, but the precise meaning is unknown.
