This is the earliest attestation for the use of roof tiles in the southern Levant, south of Beirut, and so far, it is the only attestation for their use in the region during the Hellenistic period. The petrographic analysis of the fragments shows that the tiles were manufactured with the locally available clay from the Moza Formation and that a specific recipe of raw materials adapted for the tiles was used. We suggest that the roof tiles were intended for the roofing of a building related to the Seleucid presence in the city at the time, the Hakra (Acra) being one such option.

This view has recently been challenged in several articles suggesting that the stones and the rooms they were found in had a cultic use.

I was introduced to this collection almost a couple of years ago by a chance through a mutual friend. The collection was acquired over last 25-30 years from many different individuals. The collection includes at least one hundreds tablets, but many are either partially or completely illegible. I want to express my gratitude to the owner of the collection who has granted me a permission to work on some of the tablets belonging to the collection and publish some of these here.
