The columns are remarkable for their fineness
of execution and their grace of proportion. It
is interesting to find this particular order
of Roman classic in this remote place.

The town abounds in fragments
of architectural sculpture of the highest
order, executed in rich foliate designs
and in high relief upon the hard
black basalt. P. aud L. took some
small photographs for use of these bits.

Continuing our journey we came
to Il-Hedjâni where the camp had
been pitched for the night. Here is a
small tower of late construction and a
great deal of broken building material
leading to the supposition that there was
a town here in comparatively ancient times

Beyond Il-Hedjâni we found traces of
an ancient road leading eastward.
