Product Description

The present volume is complementary to volume Ia, entitled "Inscriptions from Palaestina Tertia: The Greek Inscriptions from Ghor es-Safi (Byzantine Zoom)" and published in 2005, which contained 321 inscribed funerary stelae from this area (and another 20 bearing only symbols). Vol. Ib includes 66 new inscriptions from the Ghor es-Safi area (Byzantine Zoora), also one from Khirbet Qazone and 13 from Feinan (Byzantine Phaeno). The vast majority of the Ghor es-Safi epigraphic material (64 inscriptions) originates from the An-Naq' cemetery, a burial site since Early Bronze Age located on the south bank of the Wadi aI-Has a, where all the tombstones of the first volume were found (IPT Ιa, p. 6 and p. 7, fig. 3). From the remaining two inscriptions, one comes from the site of Khirbet Sheikh 'Isa next to the cemetery, probably identified with the Byzantine town of Zoo ra, whereas the other from Umm Tawabeen, a large Nabataean-Roman fortress on the southeastern hill above the Wadi al-Hasa.
