"The splendour of the dawn, a city "in the mount of the valley" "(Josh. 13:19). It is identified with the ruins of Zara, near the" "mouth of the Wady Zerka Main, on the eastern shore of the Dead" "Sea, some 3 miles south of the Callirrhoe. Of this town but" "little remains. "A few broken basaltic columns and pieces of" "wall about 200 yards back from the shore, and a ruined fort" "rather nearer the sea, about the middle of the coast line of the" "plain, are all that are left" (Tristram's Land of Moab)."
