Three inscriptions from Africa Proconsularis revealed the existence of a word, Mibil, known in this form or in the genitive, Mibilis. Two inscriptions, from ciuitas Siualitana (138-161) and from Bardo museum (161 P-180?), were engraved during the Antonine period ; the third one, from Cincaris, between 199 and 209 very probably. The divinities who were honoured were the Cereres, Deus Magnus, Mercurius Sobrius. The Mibil was a sanctuary or a sodality, or the both at once. The religious context and the linguistic analysis prove the punie etymology m-B'L, which means « that which belongs to the divinity » and « he who belongs to the divinity »
