The location is a bit uncertain. Taylor1 simply says it is a "pleasant walk (20 minutes) up the valley" from Temnine el Fawqa. Aliquot states that it is "dans la gorge située à 500 m à l’ouest de Temnine el-Faouqa, non loin d’une nécropole antique"2. I shall visit this site when possible. In the meantime, there are rock cut tombs at Jurd Niha about 1 km. to the west (more like two as the path goes), but no sign of a spring there, and there is at least one spring in the valley to the north. I have put the pin in the valley north of the village, but the best thing is to ask for "Ain el Jobb" in the village. The spring is covered with a vault and has a 4 metre shaft down to a cistern. There is a cippus outside with an image of a goddess.
