Bābisḳa November 7-8, 1899

This large uninhabited, ruined town
is ^ also ^ situated on the range of foothills north
of the Djebel Barîsha about 25 minutes East
of Derḳîta - The path from one to the
other follows the line of an ancient road,
narrow with remains of walls on either side.

On the way we pass below the ruins of
Kfêr a small unimportant ruin chiefly in
megalithic style and greatly dilapidated.

The town itself has a fine situation upon
a low broad plateau. The architectural
remains are in numerous styles and there
are various classes of buildings represented.

Two such ruined buildings are
unmistakably churches, besides these are numerous
private houses and long two storied colonnades
that doubtless served as marketplaces.

One large structure, covering considerable
space and with numerous sections disconnected,
is difficult to identify with any class of building
that we have seen.
