Preface to Division III, Section B.
Finally I would like to call attention to an observation of M. Max van Berchem
in a letter to M Barbier de Maynard concerning his “Recherches Archeologiques en*
Syrie” in 1894, published in the Journal Asiatique, 1895, 2, p. 499 and 501 : “A quelques
heures a l’ouest d’Alep, on rentre dans la region des villes mortes greco-romaines
Ce sont des reunious de villas plutot que de villes proprement elites”. Certainly this
statement is true of many, though I think not all, of the settlements where the
inscriptions of this collection were found.
