The villagers paid a fixed tax-tare of 33.3% on various agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues; a total of 2,567 akçe.

[10] On 14 June 1870 Victor Guérin noted that Kafr Qud was "hidden in the mountains with groves of olives and fig trees ... and very probably the place is Caparcotani of Ptolemy and the Peutinger map."

[23] Kafr Qud is situated in the northern Sahl Arraba on narrow ravine below the Jabal Shibli mountain to the north.

The ancient site in the middle of Kafr Qud is small and surrounded by a gully near the Bir al-Balad spring.

Most of the modern housing was built east of the site, although ancient building material is highly present in some walls.
