A moon-god and tutelary god of the South Arabian kingdom of Saba. The members of the tribe of Saba called themselves 'the children of Almaqah.' He is symbolized by a cluster of lightning flashes and a weapon which looks similar to the letter S. His symbolical animal is the bull. Almaqah is referred to in some texts as 'Lord of the horned goats.'
