Main differences from OTL:

• Ashokan missionaries get to Carthage (this fact isn't provable in-universe)
• ... whose lect of Canaanite also somewhat differs from OTL and is more IE-influenced (from Azalic speakers; e.g. tense markers and negated abstract nouns (e.g. bl h3wlt or later hbl 3wlt 'refraining from violence/wronging (with definite marker)') are more common)

Hadīqūt

Hadīqūt (a loan translation from Greek eusébeia, which translates dharma) is an offshoot of Punic religion that among other things condemns both human and animal sacrifice; its beliefs are somewhat poorly attested because of Christian suppression, but evidence about it survives in Latin and Greek texts.

It is forbidden to overexploit sacred groves (2šrym/2ašērīm, 2šr/2ōšēr is collectivized from 2šrt/2ašērō)

(The name of the religion should be whatever the best translation of "dharma" is in Ancient Canaanite; 𐤃𐤓𐤊 𐤄𐤄𐤃𐤉𐤒𐤅𐤕 𐤅𐤁𐤋 𐤄𐤏𐤅𐤋𐤕 drk hhdyqwt wbl h3wlt "Way of Piety and Nonviolence")

In translation, a Hadīqūt teacher is described as teaching as follows: "The Way of Piety is justice and righteousness; lovingkindness towards every soul and refraining from wrongdoing towards any of them; and steadfast devotion to the study and practice of Piety."
