Marad — by A. Hausleiter — last modified Jun 13, 2023 11:28 AM

Marad (modern Tell Wannat es-Sadum), a city located ca. 60 km southeast of Babylon, was the cult center of the god Lugal-Marda; it is approximately halfway between Babylon and Isin, on the Arahtu canal. Details about the cultic topography of this settlement, which was established in the Early Dynastic Period (ca. 2700 BC), are known from a number of cuneiform sources, including Neo-Babylonian royal inscriptions, the so-called "Canonical Temple List," and two first-millennium-BC ziggurat lists. Marad's principal temple, Eigikalama, is attested from the Old Akkadian Period to Neo-Babylonian Period.

Mareia?/Philoxenite — by A. Bernand — last modified Jun 30, 2023 06:09 PM

Immediately north of modern Hawwariya on the southern shore of Lake Mariout in Egypt, archaeological excavations have uncovered an extensive and evidently purpose-built settlement of the latter sixth century CE, with remains of harbor and industrial installations, baths, shops, a funerary church, and a large basilica. This site, probably to be identified as Philoxenite, catered to the needs of pilgrims travling to shrine of Saint Menas in Abu Mina. It expanded and replaced a site of at least Hellenistic and Roman date that is perhaps to be identified as Mareia.
