The lower part of a standing female statue (torso) and an arm fragment, both of marble, were uncovered at Gadara, Jordan. The donation inscription on the pedestal firmly names the goddess Aphrodite. This standardized iconographic scheme of Aphrodite is called ‘Type Syracuse/Landolina’. The palaeography of the Greek letters implies a date toward the end of the 2nd/beginning of the 3rd century AD, while the quality of the sculptural workmanship and the technical treatment of the drapery suggest an earlier date after the mid 2nd century AD. The older statue has been re-used as a donation by a Gadarene citizen, possibly in the context of the nymphaeum. The arm fragment, uncovered about five metres from the torso, is decorated with a piece of drapery. Initially it was suggested that the arm came from the torso. A multi-method archaeometric investigation (X-ray diffraction, petrography, trace element and isotope analysis) was undertaken to determine the quarry origins of the marble fragments. The results show the use of Greek Paros-2 (Lakkoi, Paros Island) marble for the torso, and Penteli (Mount Pentelikon, Attica) marble for the arm, refuting the argument that the arm belonged to the Aphrodite torso.

在约旦加达拉发现了一个站立的女性雕像（躯干）的下部和一个都是大理石的手臂碎片。基座上的捐赠铭文坚定地命名了女神阿芙罗狄蒂。这种标准化的阿芙罗狄蒂肖像画方案被称为“锡拉丘兹/兰多利纳类型”。希腊字母的古迹隐含着大约在公元2世纪2世纪/开始的日期，而雕塑工艺的质量和帷幕的技术处理则表明在2世纪中叶之后的更早的日期。较旧的雕像已被Gadarene市民重新用作捐款，可能是在仙女的背景下。距离躯干约五米的地方露出的手臂碎片装饰着一块布。最初有人建议手臂来自躯干。进行了多方法考古研究（X射线衍射，岩石学，痕量元素和同位素分析），以确定大理石碎片的采石场起源。结果表明，将希腊帕罗斯2（Lakkoi，帕罗斯岛）大理石用作躯干，而将奔特力（Pentelikon山，阿提卡）大理石用作手臂，驳斥了该手臂属于阿芙罗狄蒂躯干的说法。
