Transcript | THE PHOENICIAN PLAIN. 65 construction. Some contain excavations in the flooring of the cave just large enough to contain a body and roughly hewn to its shape, with a groove running round to admit the covering slab. On the top of this we shall find the rich marble sarcophagus oi a later date. Examining again, we shall find rudely carved Christian symbols, of the period of those of the catacombs of Rome—the equilateral cross, the sacred monogram in a variety of forms, the a and «•, and the like. Hiram's Tomb, " Kabr Hiram/' as it is called, by far the most interesting relic of Tyre left intact, is very near the little village of Hanawieh. It stands slightly retired from the brow of the uplands, close by the wayside, corn-fields behind it, and the quiet orchard ground in front.

The little tow< the distance is a Turkish guard-house, where tolli are levied, as it command 1 ti ■ Icre. |
