Their debris may be confused with those of the Kasr mound, on which one writer places them.

Or they may have stood between the Kasr and Amran ruins, where are now some mounds of no great height.

Or, possibly, their true site is in the modern El Homeira, the remarkable red mound which lies east of the Kasr at the distance of about 800 yards, and attains an elevation of sixty-five feet.

Though this building is not situated upon the banks of the Euphrates, where Strabo and Diodorus place the gardens, it abuts upon a long low valley into which the Euphrates water seems formerly to have been introduced, and which may therefore have been given the name of the river.

This identification is, however, it must be allowed, very doubtful.
The two lines of mounds which enclose the long low valley above mentioned are probably the remains of an embankment which here confined the waters of a great reservoir.
