Furqlus

Furqlus (Arabic: الفرقلس‎, Furglus or Furklus) is a town in central Syria, administratively part of the Homs Governorate, east of the city of Homs. Situated at the eastern approaches of the Syrian Desert, the town is located between al-Qaryatayn to the south, Sadad to the southwest, Shinshar to the west, Fatim al-Amuq and al-Sayyid to the northwest, al-Mukharram to the north and Palmyra to the east. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Furqlus had a population of 5,096 in the 2004 census.

History

Early history and etymology

During the Byzantine Empire era in Syria, Furqlus was known as "Betproclis" or "Betroclus," which were Greek transliterations of its original Semitic name "Beth Forklos." Its Latin name was "Proclus." The Arabicization of the latter part of the town's Greek name "proclis" was "Furqlus."

The late 5th-century Byzantine document Notitia Dignitatum listed Betroclus as one of the two sites in Syria where regular Arab army units were stationed as part of the defense of the Phoenicia province. Although they were not listed as foederati, their inclusion in the Notitia Dignitatum suggested that these units possessed distinguished merit. Mentioned as indigenae, Betroclus was the only one of the two where the unit's make-up was entirely indigenous.

Fire

Okay Kelis,making it outta here
Spragga Benz on the track, get over here Kelis
It's like that, it's that Kelis, grazzily insane
Kelis and Sparaggess, dance Kelis
Hollow, watch a little
Go left, go right, go all day, go all night
Keep doing it to the right, in the pocket stuck it up tight
Build it up now, get it too good, I'm in patience
Watcha body do good? Don't move it, babe
Hold it right there, I'm a do my own thing over here
Play all night, here I come
Well, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm comin' through
So hold steady feel the fire like the suns on you
Get it up, keep it up dance with me all night long
No problem, you know I got the flow, come on, let's go
I got Kelis with me and the fire is growing up slow
Where there's fire there danger, don't wanna know where time
Sparks are flying between with me, exchanging blazes
So hurt somebodies bound together, I feel the heat
From my fire and there no return, I don't wanna, let's go
(Go, here we go, watch your flow, graises)
Go left, go right, go all day, let's not fight
Keep listening hold me up tight, don't let me go
It's early in the night, give it up now, hit it too good
Watch me close up, watch my body do good, don't move it
Babe, hold me right there, I'm a do my own thing over here
Play all night here I come
Well, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm comin' through
So hold steady feel the fire like the suns on you
Get it up, keep it up, dance with me all night long
No problem, you know, I got the flow
Come on, let's go I got Kelis with me
And the fire is growing up slow
Where there's fire there danger, don't wanna know where time
Sparks are flying between with me, exchanging blazes
So hurt somebodies bound together, I feel the heat
From my fire and there no return, I don't wanna, let's go
(Go, here we go, here we go, red square)
Danger, danger, let's all be aware, we be raisin' the roof on air
Feelin' excitment, it's in the air, Kelis be changin' the atmosphere
Look out ladies about next year, all our root boys
The one other, the way you movin' your lips
And your sexy lips and loosin' beyond compare
Where there's fire there danger, don't wanna know where time
Sparks are flying between with me, exchanging blazes
So hurt somebodies bound together, I feel the heat
From my fire and there no return, I don't wanna, let's go
