The Aramaic Inscriptions are a collection of writings in Aramaic, a language closely related to Hebrew, dating from the 3rd to the 10th centuries B.C.E. These inscriptions shed light on the biblical languages, especially the Aramaic portions of the Hebrew Scriptures, and upon the cultural and historical background of the Bible. The database of Aramaic Inscriptions was prepared by H.H. Hardy, II and Charles Otte, III, doctoral students in Northwest Semitic Philology at the University of Chicago. The Aramaic Inscriptions are morphologically and lexically analyzed, with English glosses. A separate glossary and English translations of these inscriptions are also available.
