Ḳalb Lauzi

A Greek inscription upon one member
of the carved lintel of one of the richly
ornamented portals in the south wall
was copied and a squeeze was made
by P. Squeezes were also taken of 2
symbolical discs on the interior.

The church from its size and central
position among the towns of the Jebel
may well have been the seat of a bishop
and the scarsity of civil or domestic
ruins would seem to indicate that
Ḳalb Lauzi was chiefly an ecclesiastical
centre - Its importance in this sphere
doubtless dates from the time of Justinus
and Justinian whose coins are found
in great numbers by the peasants.
