anonymous Town ' that Ctefar vifited in His Way toAdrumetiim, 

 Hamam-et, j^qq informeth us that Hamam-et was built about His Time '•

Wild pige- but the flourifliing Condition It enjoys at prelent , is ot no 

 longer Date , than the latter End of the laft Century : the 

 Pillars, Blocks of iMarble, and fome few other Tokens of An- 

 tiquity, that are here and there to be met with, having been 

 brought from CaJJir Afeite, the Chiias Siagiiar/a of the Antients.

 of \_Hamam r^^=-] Wild Tigeons , that are bred in the Cliffs 

 of the adjacent Mountains. The two following were the
