What on earth does this mean? Is it supposed to say "area of Damascus"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.189.26.84 ( talk) 22:02, 4 June 2013 (UTC) reply

I imagine it may have originally been a translation from the French Wikipedia article, as Damas is Damascus in French. "Ares" seems to be a likely type for "area". Adam Bishop ( talk) 01:19, 5 June 2013 (UTC) reply

And "type" is a likely typo for "typo". :- ) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.140.232.47 ( talk) 13:06, 22 May 2016 (UTC) reply
