A [[Samaritans|Samaritan]] inscription on a stone lintel was discovered in Al-Sindiyana, featuring 12 lines of [[Samaritan script]], referencing the initial section of the [[Shema|Shema prayer]], following the [[Samaritan Pentateuch|Samaritan version]] of [[Book of Deuteronomy|Deuteronomy]] 6:4-9, with notable variations from the [[Masoretic Text|Masoretic text]].<ref name=":0">{{Citation |title=CLV. Es-Sindiane no. 7556 |date=2023-03-20 |work=Volume 5/Part 2 Galilaea and Northern Regions: 6925-7818 |pages=1689–1691 |url=https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110715743-041/html |access-date=2024-02-07 |publisher=De Gruyter |language=en |doi=10.1515/9783110715743-041 |isbn=978-3-11-071574-3}}</ref>▼
The stone, measuring 25 cm in height and 40 cm in width, was found inserted into a wall above the entrance of a modern house in Al-Sindiyana. The inscription, written in dots-separated words, includes a mention of the city's name "Geva" in [[Hebrew alphabet|Jewish script]]. The inscription concludes with lines suggesting a possible date, mentioning the "reign of [[Ishmael]]" (reference to [[Arabs|Arab]] rule), potentially dating the text to shortly after the [[Muslim conquest of the Levant|Muslim conquest]] in the seventh century AD.<ref name=":0" />▼

In 1992 the village site was described: "The site is fenced in with barbed wire. Scattered piles of stones, the debris of destroyed houses, are visible among thorns, cactuses and fig, olive, and palm trees. The surrounding lands are used by Israelis as a grazing area."<ref name=Khalidip193/>
