[69] Discovered in 1902 by Dr. J. P. Peters and Dr. Thiersch; see their _Painted Tombs of Marissa_, London, 1905.

[70] Reference should also be made to the expedition from Princeton University, referred to on p. 107, led by Prof. H. C. Butler, which went out in 1899-1900, in 1904-1905, and in 1909, and examined the ruins in the Hauran (or region east of the Sea of Galilee), in the Lebanon Mountains, and in that part of Syria to the east of Lebanon. The expedition gathered many inscriptions, most of which belong to the Christian period. The results of this exploration are published in _The Publications of an Archæological Expedition to Syria in 1899-1900_, New York, 1904, and _Publications of the Princeton Archæological Expeditions to Syria in 1904-1905 and 1909_, Leyden, 1908-1914.
