Dâr Kitā

In our exhaustive study of this town
many interesting buildings beside the
three churches were found, chiefly private
houses of different epochs and of varying
states of ruin, and a number of new
inscriptions were discovered, some of them dated.

The very interesting group of buildings
in the N.E. angle of the ruins has two
dated lintels of the first half of the IV century.
The maze of buildings is badly ruined, and
was constructed largely of crude polygonal
work. The inscriptions refer to the purchase
of land and the building of an agora. The
only building of sufficient importance to have
stood upon a formal agora is a building
west of the insc. the only building with columns
in the town except the churches. Further
south is a long line of square piers, facing
a more or less open space.
