- Provenance
- The co-ordinates are from http://www.geonames.org/. This site has not been revisited. According to Wetzstein (1860: Map), the it is "c. 10–12 hours on horseback [due east] of Ruǧm al-Marʾah". Based on the measures of distance and time for travel on horseback in the ḥarrah given by Wetzstein (1860: map) which are the same as those given by Butler, viz: "an average of two and three-quarter miles [= 4.4 km] per hour for ordinary going..." (Butler, Norris & Stoever 1930: vii), this would place Tall Ghurāb approximately 44–53 km [due east] of Ruǧm al-Marʾah. Wetzstein does not seem to have copied any inscriptions at Tall Ghurāb.
