1 See my Edessa, Oxford, 1970, plan u and p. 257, n. 1Google Scholar. Inscription Xo. 2 is inserted in the wall of the mosque, beside a text in Arabic that is now nearly illegible. In 1966 inscription No. 1 was lying on the floor—not, as I state in my book, in the wall—inside the mosque; when it was examined by Dr. H. J. W. Drijvers and myself in 1971 it had been taken out to a small yard beside the mosque, and, already cracked (as may be seen from plate iv, taken in 1966), had been broken in the process. We supervised its transfer to the safe-keeping of the Museum at Urfa.
