Framed Print of The Giant Cities of Bashan - Musmieh, 1873. Creator: Unknown
The Giant Cities of Bashan - Mismieh, 1873. Mismieh lies on the north-west side of the Ledja. The temple is one of the most beautiful ruined temples in the Hauran: it is of hewn stone. The town, once the metropolis of Trachonitis, is now a hideous mass of uninhabited ruins. The approach to the temple is on the east side, past a row of pillars, now mutilated, which inclosed a wide paved area leading to six steps, the length of the whole front of the temple. The portico at the top of the steps consisted of seven Grecian columns, only three of which remain. There are two low side doors with niches over them, and a large door between them. Inside the temple are four Grecian columns, forming a square, and supporting the roof; and at the further end, opposite the door, there is an apse, resembling a sculptured shell, on each side of which is a door leading into a small room. On one of the pillars in front is a long Greek inscription which speaks of Mismieh as the chief city of Trachonitis and complains of the inhabitants for their want of hospitality to strangers, both military and civil. Other inscriptions on the temple contain the names of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, Avidius Cassius, and Ignatius Fuscus (centurion of the third Gallic Legion)'. From Illustrated London News, 1873.
