E05387: Fragmentary floor-mosaic with a Greek inscription commemorating the completion, or just paving, of a martyr shrine (martyrion). Found at Khirbet el-Bediyeh/Khirbat al-Biddīyah, neighbouring to the south-east with Ras ad-Dayr, near ancient Pella/Berenike/Philippeia and Gerasa/Jerash (Jordan/Roman province of Palaestina II). Dated, presumably 640-641.
