Serdjilla

House No. 4 is situated at the extreme S.W. angle
of the town, high above the Wadi, at the top of the
slope, on the opposite side of the Wadi from the
houses just described. The two muslim compartments
are perfectly preserved in two stories, and
a portion of the lower colonnade, a fine example
of slender Tuscan order, is still in situ.
A natural pavement for the courtyard was
formed by smoothly dressing the solid rock.

The two houses which comprise No. 5 are less
well preserved, but both apparently belong to
the early period of Serdjilla - the 4th century.
These houses are built on the side of the slope,
and the eastern half of the [most ......ly] of the
two houses is situated on a lower level. There
are steps to provide for this difference of levels.
