New Greek Christian inscriptions from Muʾta and the Karak plateau (fourth–seventh centuries)
This article presents seven unpublished Christian Greek funerary inscriptions from the Karak plateau, found at al-Karak, Muʾta and al-Shihābiyya, raising the documented corpus to over 700 items. The stelae are dated between the late fourth and the early seventh centuries ce, when the land of Moab belonged to the Roman province of Palaestina Tertia. The inscriptions include noteworthy onomastic evidence, notably a new personal name.
