[3][4] The pilgrim Egeria visited Harran in 384, at which point there was little Christian population though the city had a monk-bishop, most likely who showed her a church at the presumed place of Abraham's house as well as a spring identified with Rebecca's well.
[9] Pagan presence in the city continued as well, but decreased over time; Abu al-Hasan al-Mas’udi mentioned one remaining temple in 943 and it is possible it survived into the twelfth century.
[10] Simeon of the Olives, the Syriac Orthodox bishop of the city, participated at the synod of Manzikert (726).
[13][14] The Beth Batin Monastery, which produced one Patriarch and three bishops, was located near Harran and remained active until 975.
Among the ruins of the medieval town of Harran are also those of a large basilica church in the northeastern end.
