763. Block. Found lying on the ground in the courtyard of the Shekh Yfisuf
in the lower part of the town. Both ends have been broken off. Length of the frag-

plate 24 cm. The letters are in relief. Height of letters 7 cm. Copied by Magie in 1909.

The god Θεανίριος was worshipped also at cAtil near Kanawat (C. I. G. 4609 and
Add. p. 1181= Wad. 2374a; = Z. G. R. hi 1238), and at ZoFah (Wad. 2481=/. G. R.
in 1156), and, under the name Θεανάριτης, at Bosra and cAuwas; see Waddington’s
commentary to no. 2046 = our no. 693. An inscription has been found at Pressburg
recording a dedication Dis Patris Manalpho et Theandrio erected by an eques coh.

Ep. n, p. 390, no. 722. Immediately after the names of the donors are the letters
Dom. Can., which have been interpreted by Mordtmann (Z. D. M. G. xxix (1876),
p. 106) as Dom{o) Can{athenus)·, this reading- seems to be borne out by the evidence
of our inscription which shows that the god was worshipped at Kanawat.
The restoration of PABB presents considerable difficulty. Perhaps it is merely
another example of the common name Ραββος (see no. 159) with which οικοδόμος or
some such word is to be read. On the other hand, the fact that the word Rabb
means ‘lord’, and that it has been read with the name of a man as a title in an
inscription from Sidon (see Clermont-Ganneau, R. A. O. in (1900), p. 1 f.) suggests that
1. 3 of this inscription is perhaps to be restored Θεαυό'ριω Ρα(3β[ω], and that the word
is used as a title or cult-name, analogous to Ζευς Κύριος in the inscriptions from is-
Sanamdn; see no. 6552. If this hypothesis be correct, it may help in the restoration
of another inscription from Kanawat, found in the “Temple of Helios”, and apparently
a fragmentary dedication: C.I.G. 4606 = Wad. 2335 = A. A. E. S. ill 409. In this
