NEAR KHIRBIT
About 50 minutes on horse-back west of “Amman there is a
small ruin called by the natives Khirbit it-Tin, because
they fetch tin (clay) from that place. Near the ruin, to
the south of it, there are ten tombs cut into a low cliff
facing a wadi, the western continuation of the Sfel “Amman.
The fourth of these tombs, counting from the west, bears
a short inscription. This tomb may be described as follows
(see Ill. 10). The entrance is formed by a small ante-
room, from which a few steps (T) lead to a small door.
Through this one enters into the main chamber («), which
is five paces wide and seven paces long. On the north
and south sides there are five loculi (^, c, d, e, f), resem-
