KAI 135

The Bourgade inscriptions are approximately 40 Punic language inscriptions, found in the 1840s and early 1850s in Husainid Tunisia, which had just been opened up to French influence following the 1846 meeting between Ahmad I ibn Mustafa and Antoine, Duke of Montpensier.

• 17 ex-voto religious offerings: 13 texts and 4 bas-reliefs;
• 34 funerary epitaphs: 28 texts and 6 bas-reliefs.

Bourgade also republished two notable steles named "Carthaginian A" and "Carthaginian B", which were discovered in 1845 on the port-island of Carthage.

Some of the inscriptions were found near the ruins of Carthage or the surrounding area, and the rest at various points of the Regency of Tunis. Several were discovered by an archaeologist named Honnegger. Most of the stones were the property of the Tunisian public, both in the countryside and the cities.

A number of the most notable inscriptions have been collected in Kanaanäische und Aramäische Inschriften, and are known as are known as KAI 133-135.

They were published in 1852 by François Bourgade in his Toison d'Or de la Langue Phénicienne.
