Besides the two above-mentioned, a third Coptic village seems to
have existed about 7 kilometres south-west of Mandisha, at the
south end of the range of hills which will be seen on the map. This
village has not been seen, apparently, by any European traveller,
though its position was pointed out to Ascherson from a distance,
under the name “Merharet-el-Fama.” Information was derived on a
visit to Ain Jafarra (6 kilometres south of Mandisha) that some ruins
existed a short distance to the north-west, and this would appear
to coincide with the position given by Ascherson; time unfortunately
failed for an excursion in search of them.

revetment-wall for that of a temple of Jupiter Ammon, and the
builder’s stone-marks for the remains of a Greek inscription.]

[Footnote 69: The Survey observations give 28° 2′ 11″ N. as
the latitude of Ain el Haiss, thus placing it about 3 kilometres
further north. Jordan’s value, 28° 1′ 55″ substantially
confirms this; the small difference is doubtless due to different
points of observation being used.]
