Preface to Division III, Section A.
The territory visited by the Princeton University Archaeological Expedition to
Syria has been divided, for convenience in publication, into two main sections, A,
Southern Syria, and B, Northern Syria. The epigraphical work in Southern Syria, Classi-
cal as well as Semitic, has been in my charge, whereas in Northern Syria my work
was limited to Semitic epigraphy only. The Greek and Latin inscriptions studied by
this expedition are to be issued in Division III of these publications, the Semitic, i. e.
Nabataean, Safaitic, Syriac and Arabic, in Division IV. Of this, the third division,
therefore, only Section A falls to my share. A general preface to Division III will
be published when both sections are complete.
This section contains 806 inscriptions .from Ammonitis and the region of the Hauran,
i.e. the Hauran plain, the Hauran mountains, the Ledja or Trachonitis, the ruined cities
and outposts south and east of the Hauran mountains. The present part has been
