The site entry provides only an inferred position, deduced from the description in the Tabula Imperii Byzantini. In the Jebel Halaqa region, at Dayr al-Malik, archaeological investigation has documented vestiges of a monastic complex that most likely functioned as a dependency of the monastery at Teleda.
