Part II. Travels into the Levant

minable way, and we were ib tired marching from bill to hill, that we were 
all afraid we fliould be forced to march fo till next day ; But at length a 
quarter after one of the Clock at Noon, we arrived half roafted upon one of 
thefe little hills, called Tmhangioti, where having f<)und a Well of Spring-water, jouba 
we encamped by it, from the top of thefe hills, we had a view of the Moun- 
tains called Caradgia-Daglar. Caradgia- 
About eleven a Clock at Night we had an allarm from twenty five Curdidi ^-'^l'''-''- 
llorle-men, who came towards our Camp, who being dKcovered the allarm 
was given, for it had been publifhed in the Evening, that we fhould all 
watch for one another. All armed at thelound of a Flu'te inftead of a Drum, 
and iome of our Men marching out of the Camp, and putting themfelves in 
a pofture to fire upon the Curds ; they cried aloud praying us not to fire 
upon them, becaufe they were going a hunting, and 16 went on their way. 
We fpent every Night in this manner, inciting one another to watch and fing- 
ing to keep us from fleeping. 
We parted next Morning about a quarter after three, for we marched no 
more now before break of day, that we might not be furprifèd. Our way 
was Eaft a little towards the South-Eaft ; and about fix a Clock we found 
fifteen or twenty of the Curds Tents, made of the hair of black Goats, un- Tents of the 
der which were feveral Women and Children ; about eight of the Clock we CW/. 
found above fixty of them, and three quarters of an hour after we encam- 
ped near a Well of Spring-water, in a place called Alakt. Thefe Curds came AUhj. 
and fold Provifions in our Camp ; but mofl: part of them would not take 
Money, but onely Soap, or Tobacco, and chiefly Soap ; and though they 
were offered Ten pence for that which was not worth Eight pence, they 
would not take it, faying that they would not give it for a Fiafire, but for 
Soap they would. The Night following we had a very cold Wind, but not fo 
the day after ; for then it was exceffively hot. 
We parted from Alaki on Tuefday the fifteenth of July ^ about three of the 
Clock in the Morning, and marched on Ealt-South Eaft : An hour after 
left the bad way full of Stones, which we had conftantly had from Orfa, 
and entered into a great Plain, having always to the left the Mountains 
Caradgia which are the Mount Taurus, that reaches from above Ofra to Di- The Moun- 
arl;eck towards the Eaft ; and from thence, South-Eaft till over againft Kiz,il- ofC.?- 
ken, and till near to Nifihin towards the North-Eaft ; and from thence South- ^aurus^^ 
Eaft, till within two days Journey of A/û/zJ. 
About fix a Clock I was told that the Town of Diarheck, called in Armem- The Town of 
an^ Amid, was two long or three fhort days march to our left hand, and that Diarbeck,. 
was the nearcft we came to it. Half an hour after feven we palfed by a 
little Chappel covered with a ftone-Dome; wherein there is a Tomb, which 
the People of the Countrey fay is the Tomb of Job, and at prefent there is Jobs Tomb, 
a Santo who prays at the back of that Chappel ; for this is a famous place of 
Pilgrimage, and this Santo hath a little Cell near a Well of good Spring- 
water. 
Half an honr after eight we arrived at the foot of a hillock, on which 
ftands a Village, cdWQàTelghiouran, (Tel in yî'r.a^/c^ fignifies a little hill) and ^'^^^/•'""''''Jw. 
we encamped in the Plain near a Fountain. This day and the preceeding, 
we found by the way, many plants called Ag nus Caji/!s, or Canahts for (j^jf2^[/ij 
they grow three foot high, and have the leaves divided by fives, like a hand, Àgnus cafius, 
the raiddlemoft being the longeft, and then the two next to it, the two laft 
are the leaft ; they are jagged in the middle, and white underneath ; in fhort, 
that plant ends at the top in an ear of feveral little Flowers of a very bright 
blew ; they grow among the Stones, and may be feen there in great tufts. 
I muft here alfo obferve fome faults in Sanfons Mapp of Diarheck. Mid- An errour in 
way from Orfa, to Telghwuran; we fhould have pafied a River which he Geography, 
calls Soaid, and makes it to come from Mount Taurus, pafs by Caraemit, and 
a great deal after fall into Euphrates; neverthelefs in all our Caravan there 
was not one who could give me any tidings of that Water ; and from Orfa 
to Telghiouran, we paffed no other Water, but Dgiallab. Befides he hath Other en-ours- 
made fo many faults in the pofitions of places, and in their diftances, as alfo 
in the changing their Names, that nothing is to be known by it; and though 
I named
