Doueir, South Lebanon, Former site of temple

Doueir is a hilltop north of Ain Ebel, west of Bint Jbeil.

Ernest Renan¹  removed the carved frontage of the temple door from this site, cut it down for transportation, and sent it to the Louvre. Two inscriptions (see Renan for a reading of the Greek and Aliquot for an attempted explanation) give the dedication, to Apollo by the son of a member of the legion VI Ferrata (stationed in Galilee), and a date on the 2nd of 196 A.D.².
