[Baalat] is the name of the feminine counterpart of Baal of the Old Testament and would logically appear on tablets dedicated by Semitic workers to a goddess whose Egyptian form was Hathor, goddess of love and beauty--and Hathor was the protective divinity of this mining community, where she was known as "Lady of the Turquoise."
