Abstract
Summary. An account is given of a late Roman inn situated 17 km SW of Edessa (Urfa). Its main part consists of three rock‐cut caves, of which two were used to stable animals. In front of the caves there was a porch for travellers. A cluster of inscriptions, recorded, though not altogether correctly, by previous investigators, establishes the date of the installation to c. AD 260, soon after the annexation of the province of Osrhoene by Rome. The inn also serves to establish a fixed point on the Roman road between Batnae (Suruç) and Edessa.
