The <italic>Ḥarrah</italic>’s Epigraphic Heritage: New Greek inscriptions from the black desert in north-eastern Jordan.

This paper presents ten Greek inscriptions that were recently discovered in the Jordanian <italic>ḥarrah</italic>. The discoveries were made during the 2018 and 2023 seasons of the Badia Epigraphic Survey (BES). This paper adds to an ever-growing corpus of Greek inscriptions that attest to the use of and experimentation with Greek, seemingly by nomadic communities. A second set of inscriptions demonstrates the penetration of Christianity into the Syro-Arabian desert at a later date, with the use of Christian formulae, onomastics, and crosses.
