1112. TELL 'AKIBRIN. Graffito, rudely scratched upon a plain block, 97 by
61 cm., built into a wall on the north side of one of the principal
f?.1 streets, near the center of the village. The letters are about 5 cm.

1113. Fragment. On a block, 103 cm. high and about 62 cm. wide, built into
a high wall on the west side of a street, about fifty yards north of the southernmost
mosque. There seems never to have been anything upon the left half of the stone:
the letters, however, reach the right edge. About the center of the
right half of the stone is a large hole. The letters are incised and are
well cut: they are from 4 to 6 cm. high. It is possible that this is the
left end of a very large lintel, with a long inscription carved on a plain
face. Such a lintel, judging by the height, must have been between
three and four meters long. On the other hand, since there was a
riot in progress in the village while this inscription and No. 1112
were being copied, it may be that there is really more on these blocks
than I was able to read. It is barely possible that the first three
letters form a date, the figures being arranged in the order of their
numerical values, instead of in the alphabetical order as usual: if so

1114. DURCAMAN. Lintel, 579 a. d. Fallen in the ruins of a small building,
perhaps a tower, at the extreme west end of the town, about 50 feet south of a small
church or chapel. See Div. II, b, p. 241. The block is complete, and measures 139 by
53 cm. In the center is a disk, 27^ cm. in diameter, containing the words Φαος, Ζω<.
The letters of the first line are 4 to 5 cm. high, those of the second line 6 cm.: they are
irregular in form as well as in size; but I believe the reading of all but a very few is certain.
