Description
Summary:Near the entrance of Mukāwir (Jordan), the Roman and Byzantine successor settlement of the Jewish fortress Macchairous, extends the ancient cemetery. The following Greek inscription was shown to the author: "The tomb of Thomas, his wife Mele, and their children, installed during their lifetime". The name of Mele (rendering of Milḥ) reflects the Arabic and Nabatean settling in the 2nd and 3rd century A.D. Près de l'entrée de Mukāwir (Jordanie), l'installation romano-byzantine qui succéda à la forteresse juive de Machéronte, s'étend le cimetière ancien. L'inscription grecque suivante fut montrée : « Tombe de Thomas, sa femme Mele et leurs enfants, installée de leur vivant ». Le nom de Mele (transposant Milh) témoigne de l'occupation arabe et nabatéenne aux IIe et IIIe s. après J.-C.
