strata have been found going down to

naturally be drawn from the Biblical
chronicle, that the hill Samaria was
vacant site before Omri's time. Dr..
Reisner has found ruins of a consid-

torical information but just labels or
tallies OF wine and oil stores, which
mention no kings name, and contain
no Indication of their date except so
far as this may be inferred from their

of an early sort, hardly distinguish
able from Phoenician, and nearly re-
lated to the geographic character
used for the Sloan Inscription in the
age OF Hezekiah. Even If they are

Ahab (as they were once reported to
be-, and even IL the building, in
which they were found is not the
palace of those kings Gts severely
undecorated and unfurnished charac-

find of very great interest to Semitic
scholars.

published herewith, can show us the
remains of Roman Sebasteia, which
overlay Samaria-for instance, the
ruined colonnade OF monolithic pill

hill from the gate to the Forum; the
broad stairway which led down
from the summit to the altar Of Roma
Dea; and the Basilica The singular
interest of the place, however, is lost

capital and built there a house to
Baal OF the Syrians. Samaria had
this great advantage over the capital
of Judah, that IL lay on the main
north and south road of Syria. II this
situation caused u to be visited rath-
er too often by passing invaders, 1t
brought a more active commerce than
Jerusalem ever enjoyed, and, when
the Romans came to control Pales-
tine, obtained for it, under the new
name, Sebasteia, administrative SUI
periority, and enrichment with the
usual public architecture by which
the remoter provincial chief places
were externally Hellenised. But Sc
basteia never attained to the second
or third rank of Roman provincial
cities, Just as, before Roman times,
Samaria had failed to become one of
the great cities OF Syria. The pow
erty Of Palestine has always condemn
ed even its chief settlements to com
paratively mean estate. Harborless,
rocky, thinly clad, possessing but one
stream which is worthy the name of
a river and that sunk so deep below
the general level as to be a curse
rather than a blessing, the Promised
Land" could only have allured a peo-
pie long condemned to the awful
aridity Of Sinai. Excavations in Pal
estine have always illustrated it's pow
erty and If it were not for the re-
ligious associations of it's sites, they
would probably never have attracted
the spade of the western archaeolo-
gist at all. Compared with the prod
ucts Of excavation in any of the sur
rounding lands, in North Syria, Asia
Minor, Cyprus, Crete, Egypt, or
Mesopotamia, those found hitherto in
Palestine are so rustic that If the
