ever, the king did not encamp in the town of Beri 
itself, but round about a fortified place (<u^ib) called 
Ghatigha <U3*li, which according to other accounts 
was situated at some little distance from the town of 
Beri. Ben was a celebrated place, on account of 
its situation, and of great importance in the inter-
