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. The situation is explained in this book. 94.192.38.247 (talk) 16:52, 9 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
