^{page 144 note 1} The line drawings are for the most part tracings from photographs. Of nos. 31, 33 and 45 I cannot, owing to the bad state of the texts, give any satisfactory reproduction; a photograph conveys nothing and a drawing is bound tp be very subjective. Technical difficulties prevented the reproduction of no. 35.

^{page 144 note 2} Mr. J. W. Crowfoot, the Director of the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem, and Mr. Fitzgerald, formerly Assistant-Director, had already carried the work of decipherment some way before I arrived. I owe them both my thanks for allowing me to take over their results. I also owe an acknowledgement to Mr. W. H. Buckler, Sir George Macdonald, Mr. H. M. Last, Mr. M. N. Tod and Professor Anderson, for various corrections and suggestions, and to Professor Littmann for the derivations of the Semitic names. Finally I must thank the Rev. Julius B. Robertson for the majority of the photographs.

^{page 147 note 1} Gerasa was attached to Arabia at this date, and indeed from the beginning of the province's existence (see Brünnow, , Die Prov: Arabia, iii, 264, 265Google Scholar). The note on I.G.R.R. iii, 1353 is a strange lapse; it argues that, because Attidius Cornelianus was legatus of Syria (and therefore consularis) in A.D. 158, he must have been legatus of the same province when consul designatus. The inscription is incompletely and inaccurately given in I.G.R.R.; a correct version (giving the date, viz. A.D. 150) is to be found in Mitth. d. Pal.-Ver., 1901, no. 16 (Lucas).

^{page 154 note *} It may be suggested that εὶσϕέρειν which evidently a technical word, should be substituted for [περιβάλλειν], for which there is no authority in the similar passage (l. 33) of the Ancyra inscription (J.R.S. xvi, 246; The crowning of such statues was πάτριον τοῖς τεχνίταις (Michel, , Rec. 1015, 28–30Google Scholar).

^{page 156 note 1} The word only occurs once in its literal sense (Stephanus, Thesaurus s.v.) and there seems to mean ‘to act.’

^{page 168 note 1} Another instance of the dedication of a bath in Christian times is to be found in the Princeton Exp. to Syria iii, B., no. 918.

^{page 172 note 1} =Aramaic 'Auga. Compare Safaitic 'G, modern Arabic 'Audj and the biblical Og king of Bashan.

^{page 173 note 1} =Aramaic Shamshai.

^{page 175 note 1} = Aramaic Mallai.

^{page 176 note 1} ‘Amazon's shields,’ combined sometimes with bosses, garlands etc., are the standard decoration of the Gerasene sarcophagi. I have not seen a single sarcophagus which was decorated at all, in which they were not the principal elements of the design. The same device occurs on an inscribed basis from the North theatre (no. 12) and on another similar uninscribed basis, also from the North theatre.
