Dunand's Post-scriptum (dated April, 1946) to his book Byblia Grammata (dated 1945) upsets his chronological table. It is now suggested on archæological grounds that Akhiram's inhumation be assigned to about 1000 B.C., and, therefore, the Akhiram inscriptions be attributed to such date. Dunand thus dates the Asdrubal spatula immediately before Akhiram, and places the Abdo and Shafatba'al inscriptions two or three centuries earlier, but at the same time he appreciably diminishes the interval between these two documents.
