The Carthaginian mother goddess inscription is a notable Punic inscription from Carthage published in 1871. One of about 140 inscriptions collected by Muhammad Khaznadar, it was first published by Julius Euting. Khaznadar was refused permission to make copies, but was passed copies of 19 inscriptions by E. Massé, Sidi Muhammed's secretary, and the consul Karl Tulin De La Tunisie. Euting had numbered it Carthage 215, having numbered his collection beginning at 120, picking up after the numbering published two years previously in 1869 by Paul Schröder in his Die Phönizische Sprache. It is known as CIS I 177, NSI 47, KAI 83 and KI 72.
