This small ruyined village is situated
to the N.W. of Ḳanawât well down toward
the great plain that devides the ^ [...ty] ^ [Lebaurn|Lebauru|Lebaum]
range from the Djebel Haurân.

The ruins comprise the remains of two
small temples very similar in plan
and dimensions. Both are in a fine
state of preservation. That to the north
presents ample material for restoration but
the other has been roofed in and forms
parts of two dirty native houses.

North Temple. The plan of this is distyle in antis,
the rear and side walls were perfectly plain -
the structure was raised upon a
substructure almost 2 metres high. The front wall
is broken by ample portal and two stories
of niches 2 on either side - The lower with a
lintel - the upper with arched top.

The interior is divided transversely by
a broad arch above which a pointed
gable was built - the arch and gable with
the mouldings of the latter are in situ.
