Ḥarrān; Karrai; Carrhae Complete

Description

Modern Ḥarrān, also called Karrai and Carrhae. An important town in Mesopotamia, in the Roman and Parthian (later Persian) frontier. We were able to find two published Syriac inscriptions from this area, one of them dating from Late Antiquity. For this Syriac inscription, see: Segal, J.-B., "Two Syriac inscriptions from Harran (with an appendix by Donald Strong)", Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London 20 (1957), 518–522, no. 2.
