[333] For instance in a madrasah of the Ulu Djâmi’. The inscription
round this madrasah is published (_Amida_, p. 87, inscr. No. 28), and
I have the photographs, but these are not yet published.
[334] _Amurath_, Fig. 170.
[335] Unpublished. I have all the photographs and M. Max van Berchem
has studied the inscriptions from them.
[336] It was shown at the exhibition of Mohammadan art held in Munich
in 1910, and was numbered in the catalogue 2696 (_Meisterwerke
muhammedanischer Kunst_, vol. ii, Plate 122).
[337] An early Syrian example, possibly Nabataean, is to be found
at Umtâ’iyyeh; Butler, _Ancient Architecture in Syria_, Sect. A,
pt. ii, p. 89. Cf. too the façade of the basilical hall at Mshattâ.
(Schultz-Strzygowski, _Mschattâ_, Plate 4), and an interesting example
on the tambour of the church of the ‘Adhrâ at Ḥakh; Bell, _Churches
and Monasteries of the Ṭur ‘Abdin_, p. 84 (28).

out, Mshattâ offers another notable example of the three-arched
façade. See Schultz-Strzygowski, Plate 4.
