Notes: The village of al-Wāsim is on the lower, eastern slopes of Ǧabal al-ʿArab, in the Wādī Ishbikkī (Al-Shabkī) which is one of the numerous tributaries of the Wādī al-Shām. Qalʿat al-Wāsim is a large cairn between Kawm al-Wāsim and the spring in the Wādī Ishbikkī (see the notes under C 4024). Dussaud & Macler describe it as a "watch-tower". Note that they distinguish between Kawm al-Wāsim (which is surmounted by a large circular structure which they describe as "some ruins") and Qalʿat al-Wāsim.
