Annotations

The foundations of the Greek Catholic Monastery of St. Saviour are the cella walls of a Roman temple1. An inscription to Zeus Ouranios was found nearby - this may be the dedication of the temple. There is also a Greek inscription which suggests that this may be the ancient village of Sarba, but there is some doubt2.
