Resumen: This paper aims to bring to light and edit nine Byzantine funerary inscriptions discovered in the town of El-‘Irāq (western Governorate of Karak, southern Jordan). All these pieces belong to the period ranging from the 5th to the 6th centuries ce. Like the majority of the inscriptions from the area, these epigraphs consist of short epitaphs engraved on rectangular tombstones made of local limestone and adorned with Christian symbols. The main novelty of this work is the appearance of two anthroponyms that have not been attested to date in the local epigraphic record: Γομολλα and Ἠλίος.
