Description:

Within the monastery’s principal edifice, examples of Syriac epigraphy were recorded. Although the chamber now survives in a ruinous condition, the extant archaeological remains indicate that it once rose to two, and possibly three, storeys. For further reference, see: Butler, H. C. (ed.), 1920. Publications of the Princeton University Archaeological Expeditions to Syria in 1905–5 and 1909. Division II: Architecture, Section B: Northern Syria, Leiden, 244–246.
