Reading edition
This place was visited by Drummond, Travels ... in Parts of Asia to the Euphrates (London, 1874), who gives a sketch plan (No. 9 to f. p. 201). Theodoret in his Ecclesiastical History mentions three inscriptions over the gate, as well as a castle, a ‘very superb’ Theatre, a Basilica, Temple, and other buildings; cf. also Maundrell, A Journey from Aleppo to Jerusalem (ed. 1799), p. 158.
