Using archaeological data from two closely located sites within the Sidon chora, Chhim and Jiyeh, the author considers possible oil distribution routes in Phoenicia in the Roman–Byzantine period, taking into account the impact, on this, of the administrative fragmentation of the region between the 1st and 7th centuries AD. A typology of, and data on, local and imported amphora from Chhim are presented. Various models are proposed in order to explain what appears, based on calculations relating to the output of the presses, a surplus of oil for which no corresponding evidence for exports — in the form of Chhim amphorae — can be identified. These include: alternative packaging for the oil (skins; Jiyeh amphorae-Beirut imitations); non-continuous, ad-hoc seasonal production; possible alternative markets, including Chhim’s role and context in the road networks connecting the coast, Chhim and the Beqaa Valley.

使用来自西顿（Sidon）乔拉内两个紧邻地点的考古数据，Chhim和Jiyeh，作者考虑了罗马一拜占庭时期在腓尼基的可能的石油分配路线，并考虑了公元1至7世纪间该地区行政分割的影响。介绍了Chhim本地和进口的安菲拉瓶的类型和数据。为了解释出现的现象，提出了各种模型，这些模型是基于与压力机产量相关的计算得出的，石油的过剩无法识别出相应的出口证据（以Chhim amphorae形式）。这些措施包括：油的替代包装（皮肤；吉耶油罐-贝鲁特仿制品）；非连续的临时季节性生产；可能的替代市场，包括Chhim在连接沿海，Chhim和Beqaa山谷的道路网络中的角色和环境。
