No source on Nabonidus etc.
We have now: "The last Babylonian king Nabonidus conquered Tayma and for ten years of his reign retired there to worship and search for prophecies, entrusting the kingship of Babylon to his son, Belshazzar. Taymanitic inscriptions also mention that people of Tayma fought wars with Dadān. "

There are no details for the source. The link is dead, and we have no author, title (krc2.orient.ox.ac.uk is anything but), work, year... Nothing, really. It might be a paper by Michael C. A. Macdonald from The Khalili Research Centre, Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Oxford; or it might have something to do with the OCIANA Corpus of Taymanitic inscriptions co-edited by him and María del Carmen Hidalgo-Chacón, but who can tell? The OCIANA Corpus is here and it does cover Nabonidus spending ten years in Tayma, but it doesn't mention Belshazzar, nor Nabonidus retiring there "to worship and search for prophecies", nor is there any explicit mention of wars with Dadān.

This passage and the source were introduced here by. Maybe it can be optimised and re-sourced? Cheers, Arminden (talk) 15:18, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
