Country: Syria
Region: Rif Dimashq
Site: "Ishbikkat [al-Namārah]" (C p. 431)
Latitude: 32.89645
Longitude: 37.31101
Present Location: In situ
Find date: 1861, 1862, 1899
Field collector: Waddington, Dussaud & Macler
Notes: Ishbikkat al-Namārah is the wide area, now covered by the basin of the modern dam north-west of al-Namārah, where water from the winter and spring floods collects and usually lasts well into the dry season. There are numerous inscriptions along its edges and on "islands" within the basin, see, for instance the HN and MN texts. It should be noted that this is not, of course, the same place as the Wādī Ishbikkah on the Ǧabal al-ʿArab, mentioned in Dussaud & Macler 1903: 28.
