nabataeans this article like the nabataeans article appears to be intended to cover the ancient nabataeans of the southern levant petra bosra etc if this is the case it needs to be explained clearly in both articles that a the arabs applied the name nabat nabataeans variously to different aramaean groups of the fertile crescent and that b the article is only intended to cover the nabataeans of nabataea otherwise the people writing reading or linking to these articles are liable to conflate the nabataeans of nabataea with other aramaeans of the fertile crescent mainly babylonian aramaeans whom the arabs also referred to as nabat nabataeans a disambiguation page for nabataeans seems necessary or a hatnote
