WGh 1

Interpretation

Provenance: The inscriptions were found on the ridge N. of the ǧisr (a simple causeway over which the water flows when the Wādī is in flood), on the gently sloping right bank of the Wādī Gharah, which is not very deep at this point. There are a number of graves and cairns (one with two "columns" of stones), near some of which inscriptions were found. C, following Dunand, divides these inscriptions into those from "the right bank of Wādī al-Ghara" (C 189-247) and those from "the right bank of Wādī Ghara near the bridge" (C 248-291). We discovered texts from both groups within the same small area on the right bank just upstream of the bridge.

Site: Wādī Ġarah ridge north of Ǧisr Umm Rāmiḥ, Rif Dimašq Governorate, Syria
