Caption | Fragment of Arabic foundation inscription on marble beam, uncovered in secondary layers at the Umayyad residence Khirbat al-Minya. Probably used originally as lintel over the exterior door of the mosque in the residence, with the inscription facing outwards. Fragment shown restored to original size, hypothetical reconstruction. The inscription mentions a building order by a caliph al-Walīd, either al-Walīd I (r. 705–715 CE) or al-Walīd II (r. 743–744) (see also Ritter 2017: 50-61) |
