Situated at the top of the hill, far from the rest of the settlement, it enjoyed commanding views of the Nile and surrounding countryside. The building has a wide terrace, fronting an elevated platform measuring about 40m wide and 150m long, with a broad flight of stairs leading to the top. Though the upper section of the platform, which has been all but destroyed by centuries of looting, probably supported reed structures or tents rather than a substantial construction. The design and location of the ‘South Palace’ suggest that, rather than a palace, it was an observation tower, keeping watch over the river and the southern approach to the settlement, and monitoring traffic entering the settlement.

Protogenes was born in Caunus, on the coast of Caria but resided in Rhodes during the latter half of the 4th century BC. He was celebrated for the minute and laborious finish which he bestowed on his pictures, both in drawing and in color.

During the night, the defenders could see much activity in the Ottoman lines, and fully expected to face another general assault on the next day; instead, come morning they found the Ottoman lines deserted. The Ottomans had abandoned the siege and began boarding their ships, in such haste that they left behind many supplies and equipment, including some of the heaviest siege guns. This presented an ideal opportunity for a Venetian attack, but Pisani refused to do so, contenting himself withdrawing his ships up in a line to block the southern exit of the Channel. When he did try to attack on the 23rd, contrary wind prevented him from coming close to the Ottoman fleet, and on the 24th he returned to passively keeping watch over the southern exit of the Channel.

It was during the period of Crusader rule in Levant (1099–1291) that the Druze first emerged into the full light of history in the Gharb region of the Chouf Mountains. As powerful warriors serving the Muslim rulers of Damascus against the Crusades, the Druze were given the task of keeping watch over the crusaders in the seaport of Beirut, with the aim of preventing them from making any encroachments inland. Subsequently, the Druze chiefs of the Gharb placed their considerable military experience at the disposal of the Mamluk rulers of Egypt (1250–1516); first, to assist them in putting an end to what remained of Crusader rule in coastal Levant, and later to help them safeguard the Lebanese coast against Crusader retaliation by sea. In the early period of the Crusader era, the Druze feudal power was in the hands of two families, the Tanukhs and the Arslans.

In this law, as the Emperor explicitly admits that Pagan sacrifices were still being openly celebrated: > Hence our clemency perceives the need of keeping watch over the pagans and > their heathen enormities, since by natural depravity and stubborn > lawlessness, they forsake the path of true religion. They disdain in any way > to perform the nefarious rites of sacrifice and the false errors of their > baleful superstition by some means or other in the hidden solitudes, unless > their crimes are made public by the profession of their crimes to insult > divine majesty and to show scorn to our age. Not the thousand terrors of > laws already promulgated nor the penalty of exile pronounced upon them deter > these men, whereby, if they cannot reform, at least they might learn to > abstain from their mass of their crimes and the multitude of their > sacrifices. But their insane audacity transgresses continually; our patience > is exhausted by their wicked behavior so that if we desired to forget them, > we could not disregard them.

The title derives from korte, "tent". The emperor often had a Count of the Tent in his own, personal service, the most famous of whom was Michael the Amorian under Nikephoros I (r. 802–811). According to the 10th- century Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos, during Imperial campaigns through the provinces (themes), the Imperial Count of the Tent and his subordinates, the kortinarioi, were responsible for pitching the Imperial tent and assisting the Drungary of the Watch in keeping watch over the camp at night... The Count is also attested as an official attached to the staff of a strategos, the military governor of a theme, in seals and documents from the 8th to the early 12th centuries; on seals, the province where he served is often denoted. The office's functions are not clear, but based on his role in narrative sources the Count seems to have been mostly involved with police and judicial matters; Nicolas Oikonomides views him as "a sort of chief of staff".. They seem to have borne mid-level court ranks such as spatharios and kandidatos.
