before and after the inscription, and on the basis of their copy, Professor Lidzbarski
proposed the reading [φυλχίς] Μασαχτ?ν[ών]; see Eph. 1, p. 337. The letters AUU at the
end of 1. 1, however, are quite plain in our copy, and Μασαχηλος is a regularly formed
theophorous compound of the common name Μασαχος (see no. 362); for the Semitic
forms see Lidzbarski Eph. 11, pp. 331 f. and 336.
781. Block. Found in the bed of the wadi about 300 m. northwest of the north-
western point of the hill on which the precinct stands. The lower edge is broken,
especially at the right end. Length 74 cm.; height at the left end 40 cm., at the right
23 cm. The inscription is on a sunken dovetailed plate with raised knobs in the dove-
tails. Length of the plate, exclusive of the dovetails, 38 cm.; height 16 cm. Height
of letters 21/2—3 cm.

Shamit, (son) of Shuraik, built (it) at his own (expense).
On the names see nos. 58 and ’jSf respectively. The inscription many have come
from a tomb, but there are also ruins of houses near the wadi where it was found, and
it is quite possible that the stone came from one of these.
