 Bottom of the Gulph, we pafs by the fmall Town of Solyynan, soiyman. 

 fituated upon the Skirts of a fine Plain, with a River, at two 

 Miles Diftance, on each Side of It. This Place is chiefly inhabited

 from the Guletta, all along by Rhades, Harmnayn Leef, and 

 Solyman, is low and fandy, begins at This Place to be very 

 rugged and mountainous: in which Situation, two Leagues far-

 oiDa'vid, (or Doude, as They pronounce It,) a Moorijlj Saint, 

 whofe Sepulchre, (as They pretend to fliew It,) is five Yards 

 long. But This venerable Structure appears to be nothing
