At Bāḳirhā, I measured the W. church ^see p 54 with the buildings about its cloister, and went up to the temple, where I found an altar between the north anta and the column. I also measured Burdj id-Dērûnī, which was published only in photo in Part II. The E. wall of the church at Bāḳirhā is certainly later than the rest of the building which is quite early. This wall is in good VI century style, and the division walls of the sanctuary contain wedge blocks from an older half-dome. The W. end of the church is a [brick] wall of crude polygonal work.
In Khirbit Tēzîn, I measured the church ^see p. 53^ and found an inscription in buildings to the S.W. Visited the ruined town, entirely of heavy quadrated work, at the top of the hill. Several rows of 2 story piers are in situ.
