46 As a glance into the Répertoire chronologique de l'épigraphie arabe shows. In Tripoli a Kufic inscription dated 75 A.H. was incised on the Arch of Marcus Aurelius; cf. R. Bartoccini, Guida del Museo di Tripoli (1923), p. 43.

47 Muharram, 104 A.H. = June-July, A.D. 722. This is fairly good Umayyad lettering of the monumental type, in contrast to the rather rounded letters of No. 3 below. Diacritical marks: the sīn with three dots below to indicate S (1. 4) and with three dots below to indicate Sh (1. 9); perhaps also dots below the b (11. 9 and 10), and a dot below a final n (1. 10).

48 This need not imply that there was still a Christian community: the name may have been preserved, although the church was now in ruins.

49 This is a date less than A.H. 100.
