Book II Bosra to Umm idj-Djimâl
Djemarrîn The Haurân

There are many roads leading from Bosra
passing through towns in the immediate suburbs.
We explored only two of these, both leading in
northerly directions, and of these only a few
miles were covered. The first road took
us about due north to Djemarrîn

character showing little dressed stonework and
only a few columns. This was probably the site
of a small convent of little importance.

At Djemarîn there seems to have been a large
villa with numerous dependancies rather
than a town. Nearby is a fine bridge over
the Wadi iz-Zêdī, which corresponds in style
and manner of building, with the bridge over the
same Wadi near it-Taiyiheh, and undoubtedly
was built at about the same time - 164 A.D.

The bridge in question is larger in every
way than that near it-Taiyiheh, having

There are only a handful of unexplained words left to decipher. Any student of ancient architecture will have no trouble interpreting the missing words. Any word or phrase that I didn't recognise; I substantiated the meaning of, and recorded in the notes of each relevant page. This will corroborate that I have determined the most likely word correctly.
