Anbay

The consulted sources do not preserve a narrative cosmogonic origin for Anbay. Instead, surviving references present him functionally within the institutional religion of Qataban: as an attendant deity in the retinue of the moon god Amm and as a specialized divine official of justice and oracle. Evidence for this role appears in epigraphic and secondary summaries that show the name 𐩱𐩬𐩨𐩺 (romanized ʾnby) attested in contexts of legal invocation and royal regulation rather than in mythic birth-stories or creation tales (Wikipedia; Encyclo summaries).

No primary descriptions of Anbay's physical appearance or iconography are recorded in the cited summaries. The available sources—encyclopedic entries and brief scholarly overviews—do not supply anthropomorphic descriptions, attributes, or known temple imagery for Anbay, so any reconstruction of his visual representation is not attested in the provided material (Wikipedia; Encyclo).

Sources characterize Anbay as a deity of justice and an oracle whose name was invoked in a range of legal matters. Attestations indicate use of his name as a divine guarantor or witness in formal transactions (for example, filing paperwork for legal title to buildings) and in the royal regulation of communal resources such as water supplies. He is described as providing oracular pronouncements or authoritative guidance in disputes, and he is frequently mentioned together with Haukim, another Qatabanian justice deity. He is also described as "in attendance to" the moon deity Amm, indicating a subordinate, service-oriented role within the local divine hierarchy (Wikipedia; Haukim entry; Encyclo).
