Note 248 — Chapter IV · GENESIS OF THE EARLY MOHAMMADAN PALACE (continued 2)
Reading edition
Moritz, ‘Ausflüge in der Arabia Petraea,’ Mélanges de la F. O. de Beyrouth, vol. iii, p. 432. I do not propose to consider here small buildings like Mshaiyesh (Musil, Arabia Petraea, vol. i, p. 313, and Qṣeir ‘Amra, p. 115), or al-Weyned (Musil, Arabia Petraea, vol. i, p. 289, and Qṣeir ‘Amra, p. 93). They are both on the caravanserai plan and differ little from the edifice which stands near Qṣair ‘Amrah. This last was probably a lodging for guards and courtiers. Musil, Arabia Petraea, vol. i, p. 223; Qṣeir ‘Amra, Plate 2.
