'Arshîn

The domestic architecture is in such a
complete state of ruin that it is quite
impossible to say what the style of the houses
was - considerable remains of the large
quadrated style are found with a few
ornamented lintels - Colonnades do not
seem to have been general altho' a
single house near the southern part of the
ruins - the best preserved of all, retains
a low colonnade of one story at the East.

The front of the house, which is built of
large quadrated blocks, seems to
have had a two story colonnade - The
upper and lower doorways have lintels
flanked by ornamented discs of good style.

A number of tombs are found in the vicinity,
these are ^ of the ^ "Eusebius" type (a rectangular
chamber with an arcosolia on either side - the
opening covered by a sarcophigus cover)
and the type in which an ornamental
sarcophigus is raised upon a square table.
