Mysterious Greek inscription may reveal lost temple beneath Syria’s Great Mosque

Orientul Mijlociu

The inscription was discovered in the Great Mosque of Homs in Syria. The writing in the inscription image is symmetrical, formal, and spaced in horizontal lines, a style common in formal dedication or commemorative texts. The text adopts a heroic and militaristic tone, portraying a warrior-king likened to the wind, the storm, and the leopard, as he defeats enemies and exacts tribute with commanding royal authority.
