The Rivo: 



Geographical Obfervations 



A little Way to the Southward of This Village, we crofs a 

 large River, where Majamffa was fuppofed to have been 

 drowned in His Flight from Bocchar. Lky ' tells us, that the 

 Latter was afraid to ford It, difcouraged no Doubt by the 

 Depth and Rapidity of the Stream. For in the Month of Ja- 

 nuary, when it had not rained for feveral Days, we found the 

 Channel very deep, of an uneven Bottom, and which we had 

 much Difficulty to pafs over. A little on the other Side of 

 This River, we come into thofe open Fields, where Bocchar killed 

 forty fix of the fifty Perfons, who attended Majamffa. 

 Gurba , The + Guvha, thc Cuvoh'ts or Curuhis of the Antients, is feven 

 ilf.i.ll'.O. Leagues to the S. W. by W. of Clyhea. It feems to have been 

 g.a^A.p.iy ^ confiderablc Place in former Times, though the Ruins of a 

 large Aquedud, and of the Cifterns which received the Water, 

 are the only Antiquities It can boaft of at prefent. I was in- 

 formed that the Port, and a great Part of This as well as of 

 the neighbouring City Nahal, were deftroyed by the Sea ; and 

 that fome Traces of each of Them might be feen in calm and 

 clear Weather. A little Brook runs by Gurha to the Weilward^ 

 where we have the Remains of a Stone Bridge; and, at a Farm- 

 Houfe hard by It, there is an Altar with the following Infcrip- 

 tion, which might have formerly belonged to It.
