== History ==
Western scholar Josias Leslie Porter identified al-Qurayya with the Biblical "Kerioth" mentioned by Jeremiah as one of the cities in the plain of Moab. The prophet Amos wrote that he would "devour the palaces of Kerioth." The city is later mentioned in the 4th-century CE as "Koreath," a village belonging to Bosra in the Roman province Arabia Petraea. However, this "Koreath" has also been identified with the nearby palace of Ein Qarata to the south of the Lejat plain.〔Porter, 1858, p. (524 )〕 On streets and alleyways throughout the village were the remains of several columns.〔Porter, 1858, p. (523 )〕 A Greek inscription was found on one of the stones and dated back to 296 CE.〔
