Abstract

The site called “Ancient Sage mausoleum” (先贤古墓 Xianxiangumu) in Guangzhou, reputed to house the alleged tomb of Sa‘d ibn Abi-Waqqas, is surrounded by many other graves and stelae. Among them is a tomb locally named the “Tomb of the Forty Sages” (四十位先贤碑 Sishiweixianxianbei), which was restored in 1955 by the People’s Municipal Government of Guangzhou (Yang, 2002: 27). This paper is a translation of this stela, following by a commentary.
