+
+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.

+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.

The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+
+ - the modern Turkish name seems inappropriate as a replacement for the Classical one on this map
+ - Agree, let's split the difference and use Camacha on 02-03 and the Arabic Kamakh on the other maps.
+ - Okay, please use Kamakh from Arabic
+ - Please use this form on 02-03
+ - Prefer Kamākh (Arabic transliteration rather than modern Turkish)?
+ - I would replace both with Kamākh (Arabic name, close enough to Greek, more accurate than modern Turkish Kemah).
+ - Perhaps Kamakh instead of modern Turkish Kemah?

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.

+
+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes.

+
+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).

Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ - This was a settlement in which the diocese was based, so I thought we'd prefer the settlement form of the name.

Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.

The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).

+
+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).

+ - Defer to your judgement on apostrophe v. half ring
+ - I would prefer not to use the half-ring, given that the half-ring in Syriac & Arabic means the letter ayn, but in Armenian means something completely different. I think it is better to avoid confusion by using an apostrophe or reversed apostrophe.

Finally al-Ubulla is not the same as Basra and should be distinguished as a separate label rather than a with a /. Arabic of the former is al-Ubulla (notice no ayn) Coordinate for al-Ubulla here: https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/912807 A breif description: It lay to the east of al-Baṣra on the right bank of the Tigris and on the north side of the large canal called Nahr al-Ubulla, which was the main waterway from al-Baṣra in a southeastern direction to the Tigris and further to ʿAbbādān and the sea.

+ - al-Ubulla is not the same as Basra and should be distinguished. Arabic of the former is al-Ubulla (notice no ayn!)

Finally al-Ubulla is not the same as Basra and should be distinguished as a separate label rather than a with a /. Arabic of the former is al-Ubulla (notice no ayn) Coordinate for al-Ubulla here: https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/912807 A breif description: It lay to the east of al-Baṣra on the right bank of the Tigris and on the north side of the large canal called Nahr al-Ubulla, which was the main waterway from al-Baṣra in a southeastern direction to the Tigris and further to ʿAbbādān and the sea.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.

Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.

+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+
+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.

The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).

+ - Is "Sibaberak" attested anywhere? "Sibaberk" was Matti Moosa's mistranscription, and I've never seen a version with 2 b's, though I see you found one in an 1845 dictionary. The Syriaca URI is http://syriaca.org/place/416 which should be added. I would prefer to use the modern Turkish Siverek, and discard the poorly attested Sibaber(a)k unless we have a Syriac attestation of that. If I could find an Arabic version of the name, I would wish to include that, but I am not seeing any right now.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.

The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+
+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).

Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.

+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+
+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.

The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation".

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).

+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.

The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+
+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).

+ - Author asks: The location is correct for the administrative centre of Xiapu County. The reason this place name is included, though, is because of the Manichean manuscripts discovered in Shangwan Village (Shangwancun) in Baiyang Township/District (Baiyangxiang) of Xiapu County, a remote mountain village approx. 50 km northeast of the administrative centre of the county (approx. 27°03′N 119°51′E), the point being that the tradition survived there because it was such a remote village up in the mountains. – Could you perhaps move the point further inland and a little to the northeast and say ‘Shangwan Village (Xiapu County)’, or ‘Shangwan (Xiapu)’ for short?

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.

The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.

The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching.

+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in

Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.

The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.

The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes.

+
+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes.

+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.

The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.

+ This record has been created following the Syriaca.org editorial guidelines. Documentation is available at: [http://syriaca.org/documentation](http://syriaca.org/documentation).
The Syriac Gazetteer was encoded using both the general editorial guidelines for all publications of Syriaca.org and an encoding schema specific to The Syriac Gazetteer.
+ Approximate dates described in terms of centuries or partial centuries have been interpreted into quantitative values as documented in the Syriaca.org guidelines for normalization of dates. See [Syriaca.org Guidelines for Approximate Dates](http://syriaca.org/documentation/dates.html).
+ The state element of @type="existence" indicates the period for which this place was in use as a place of its indicated type (e.g. an inhabited settlement, a functioning monastery or church, an administrative province). While it is possible to indicate a source for this date, this date is usually based on the estimate of the editors and provided as an aid to searching. As a practice, attested dates for a place based on historical sources have instead been encoded more precisely using event of @type="attestation". Natural features which have always existed have no date on the state element of @type="existence" since they are are presumed to have always existed throughout recorded history.
+ In some cases, maps from print publications have been used as the basis for coordinate data in
The Syriac Gazetteer. In two instances, the editors of such print maps provided the digital coordinate data used to prepare the print maps. Specifically, coordinates which are attributed to The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) or to The Syriac World ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/PUTG99V4)) were extracted from the KML files used to create the print maps for those volumes. Because only the print maps were published, the citation for these coordinates refers to the print source. The editors of the The Syriac Gazetteer are grateful to the editors of The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage and The Syriac World for providing these coordinate files.
+ The editors have silently normalized data from other sources in some cases. The primary instances are listed below.
+ The capitalization of names from
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/1](http://syriaca.org/bibl/1)) was normalized silently (i.e. names in ALL-CAPS were replaced by Proper-noun capitalization).
+ The unchanging parts of alternate names from the editions and translations of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/2](http://syriaca.org/bibl/2), [http://syriaca.org/bibl/3](http://syriaca.org/bibl/3), or [http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) have been supplied silently.
+ Names from the English translation of Barsoum,
The Scattered Pearls: A History of Syriac Literature and Sciences ([http://syriaca.org/bibl/4](http://syriaca.org/bibl/4)) were silently transformed into sentence word order rather than the headword alphabetization used by Barsoum. Commas were silently removed.
