Bābuṭṭa November 9, 1899

This is a small ruined village just below
the summit of Kubbet Bābuṭṭa. It consists
chiefly of irregularly planned houses built
of rough polygonal blocks of natural shape
with only jambs and lintels of cut stone in
large blocks. The town may be early and
primative or late and poor. It's only building that
attracts notice is a little baptistry in well
cut stone. Only the East wall, with its two
round headed windows, is standing. These
are ornamented with a moulding, on the exterior,
and a small symetrical disc. On the inside
a small low niche with a deep basin at its
bottom marks the place of the font.

There are some presses here of considerable
interest but the chief attraction of the
place is a beautiful rock cut tomb.

Tomb. This tomb which is situated in the
highest portion of the town, well up the
mountain side, is partially rock cut
