Temple (of Zeus?), 162. On ten fragments of the epistyle of the south temple,
which probably was dedicated to Zeus. Inasmuch as this temple is to be published
in full by Professor Puchstein, and as the text of this inscription has been published
already, I give here only my drawings with the restoration of the text as proposed by
Professor Puchstein and Dr. Lucas. The drawings may serve to illustrate the character
of the script, and to furnish material for a comparison with n°. 4 above. Professor
Puchstein found one more fragment and saw several more letters than I myself. It
appears also that since his visit to Djerash the fragments have been still further broken.
The letters in the upper line are 22 cm. high, in the lower line 18 cm.; the letter Ω
is, at the bottom, 27—30 cm. wide. The lower fasciae of fragments 1 and 7, 8, 9, 10
as given below, were never inscribed.

Tomb-altar. On three sides of the die of an altar lying in a ploughed field, about
a quarter of an hour’s ride on horse-back to the north-west of the north temple or
“Temple of Artemis.” There are signs of tombs and remains of sarcophagi near by.
The original inscription covered three sides of the altar. The first of them, on which
