decorated with a large regimental

is z feet inches at the base and 6

south is the temple of Jupiter. This
is 227 feet by III feet, and on a low

a beautiful psrtico and stone stair

peristyle had AZ columns, 13 on the
east and west sides, and eight on the

on the slope Of the latter range is
situated the ancient town of Baalbek
celebrated for its wonderful ruins
Baalbek is a small and prosperous
town, q large part of the population
being Christian, says Country Life,
and it is the seat Of the government
of q province of the same name and
q military center. Ya'kubi, an Arab
writer of the ninth century. speaks OF
Baalbek as one of the finest towns OF
Syria, and other writer's make allusion
to this beautiful spot and its wonder
full ruins. It is spoken of by the geoE'
rapher, Nur Kaddasi. as the coolest
place in Syria.
As the name Baalbek, which is
Semitic in origin, implies, 1t was con-
nected from early times with the wor-
ship of the sun, probably meaning the
city of Baal in the Beka'a, by which
the plain is known. The Phoenicians
here erected q great temple to Baal
constructed with colossal stones after
their manner. This was afterwards
utilized and reconstructed in the Grae'

bek took the Greek form of Heliop0lis.
