Abstract

Harsusi, one of the six languages that comprise the Modern South Arabian branch of the Semitic family, is still rather poorly attested. One of the major sources of information is a small corpus of texts collected by T.M. Johnstone and published posthumously by Harry Stroomer. The errors present in that published edition have a negative impact on our limited understanding of Harsusi grammar and vocabulary. The present article, which includes a re-edition of one of Johnstone's texts, along with translation and commentary, aims to improve upon our current knowledge of Harsusi.
