444 A.D. The vestibule of house no. 13 is a large apartment built out from the house. It is entered through a broad arch, and the interior is spanned by three arches. The lintel of the doorway leading from the vestibule into the court has dated inscription of the year 444 A.D. The rooms are all on the N. side of the court only; but the court was colonnaded all around. The wall of the house facing the court shows the sills of wide windows and ornamented window jambs and lintels lie nearby.

477 A.D. - 478 A.D. House 28 is a large double structure with two separate colonnaded courts. The lintel of the portal within the vestiblue at the extreme S. is dated in the year 477 A.D. - 478 A.D. Some of the carved detail here is unusually good.

436 A.D. A smaller house, no. 14, dated 436 A.D., was converted into a mosque, a minuet having been erected in the N.W. angle of its court yard.

In the Eastern part of the town is the ruin of a square structure, probably a tower, with an outer or second wall which stands like the base of a pyramid.
