One of many such stones found in the area and in the western Golan's adjacent Ulatha (Hula) Valley, which were erected, for taxation purposes, during the survey and registration of lands under Diocletian's rule. The augusti and caesars mentioned in the group date them. They seem to have been erected at quite close intervals, as near to one another as 2 km. Βετοεμαρας may refer to Ḥamûre east of Damascus, while Ἐνακαενας may refer to Qeynîye.
