	Commentary	The localization of the village isn't possible, but we can easly imagine that it was located in the Beqa'. They are two brothers. La localisation du village n'est pas possible, mais on peut imaginer qu'il était dans la Beqa'. Il s'agit de deux frères.

Commentary

The dedication of two villagers « to the Greater Heliopolitan Zeus and to the Egyptian God » seems to confirm that the faithful of the Beqa' admit the idea of the Egyptian origin of local worship, also attested by Lucian, De Dea Syria, V and Macrobius, Sat. I 23, 10-12.
