The Yazīd inscription is an early Christian Paleo-Arabic rock carving from the region of as-Samrūnīyyāt, 12 km southeast of Qasr Burqu' in the northeastern Jordan.
It was discovered by Jordanian epigraphists during the first season of the El-Khḍerī archaeological and epigraphic survey project and published in 2017.
Notably, it mentions a certain figure known as "Yazīd the king" (yzydw ʾl-mlk), who is most likely the Umayyad ruler Yazid I.
First, the term mlk (malik) in inscriptions from this period does not necessarily denote a king who ruled over a specified territory.
If the figure mentioned in the inscription corresponds to one from known sources, it may refer to Yazīd son of al-ʾAswad (the only figure from classical Arabic sources by the name of Yazīd associated with the Ghassanids), Yazīd son of Qays the Ḥujrid (mentioned by Photios I of Constantinople mentioned in his Bibliotheca), or Yazīd son of Kabaśat (mentioned in the late Sabaic inscription CIH 541 as a figure appointed by the South Arabian ruler Abraha).
