■Part IL Travels into the L E V A T 
4^ 
our Caravan was a long time in pafling it, bccaulc; of the dark, and of the 
many great Stones that are in the Water j when we palled ir, we ftood awaV 
Eaftwards. 
Wednefday tlie three and twentieth of Jnlj, about two a Clock in the Mor- 
ning, we found another Water, and another again about four a Clock, and 
three quarters of an hour after, a very pleafant little River, which turns and 
winds through a fmall plain encompafied with hills. 
Three quarters after five, we law by the way to our left a Hillock, on 
the top of which there is a Dome, under which lies buried one Imam AhmeJ, Tmam-^hmecf, 
for whom the Turks have great Veneration, and this is a place of Pilgrimage. 
About (even a Clock we palled by a forry Village called Cattdgi^ and half an Candg>. 
hour after, we encamped near a Spring of good Water, in a plain called by 
the Name of the Village. The Inhabitants thereabouts are fo given to 
thieving, that they ftay not for the Night as others do ; but come into the 
Camp in the day-time, under pretext of felling Corn for the Horfes; and 
walking up and down, fif they perceive any thing not well looked after,; 
they fail not to lift it. 
We parted from thence, the fame day about half an hour after leven of 
the Clock at Night, and marched Ealt-South-Ealt : It was extreamly hoc 
till about two a Clock next Morning,that the Air grew cooler. We marched 
without finding Water or Habitation, until half an hour after fix, that we 
came and encamped in a plain called Adgifou^ becaufe of a water that runs 
there among the reeds, and is bitter, according as I had been told, that from > 
Candgi, to Moful, there was neither habitation nor good water ; which made 
me provide my felf before hand ; neverthelefs having tailed it, I did not find 
it to be fo bitter. 
Friday the five and twentieth of July we parted from Adgifm^ half an hour 
after three in the Morning, for we were not willing to travel in the Night- 
tim.e for fear of the Arabs. We marched South, and about eight of the 
Clock, crolfed a Brook of bitter water ; half an hour after, we crofied ano- 
ther, whofe water was pretty good ; upon a hillock clofè by, there ftands a 
wall, which feems to have been the Wall of a Caftle whereof there is no 
more remaining. Half an hour after nine, we crolTed a great Brook of brack- 
ifh Water, and three quarters after eleven, a fmall River that runs under a 
Bridge of four Arches, of which two are broken, and indeed, they feem to be 
ufèleis, for the breadth of the water reaches but to the two that are whole, 
anditmuft needs be very high when it pafics through the other two which 
ftand upon a pretty high ground; This Bridge is below a little ruinous Caffle 
ftanding upon a hillock ; it hath been fquare, but there is nothing remaining 
but the four Walls, and a little round Tower in a corner. We encamped 
clofe by this Caftle, all fcorched with the Sun, and ftewed in Sweat ; that 
place is called Xf/c^-Cî/pr/, that's to fay, broken Bridge, and the Water is ^Tc^^-Oz/t;". 
called Cupri-Sou, that's to fay, the Bridge-water, and no other Names of 
Rivers are to be got from them. 
I informed my felf of the fource of that River, which Sanfon feems to have Anerrouria 
confounded with that of Nijihm, and I was told that it was another, and Geography, 
that the fource is not far from that Bridge.' This water is not very good 'but 
it is not bitter, (as I had been told,j and clofe by it there is a Fountain of far 
worfe water. We left that place the fame day, three quarters after leven 
at Night, and took our way Eaft-ward. About eleven a Clock we pafiedby 
a Village called Wlhayat, which is wholly forfakcn becaufe of the Tyranny ivibayac, 
of the Turks. At midnight we had a great Allarm, but we found it onely to 
be twelve Horfe-men armed with Muskets, who came from Moful^ where 
we arrived the fix and twentieth of July three quarters of an hour after 
five in the Morning : A httle before we came there, one of our Company 
having alighted, and returning back to look for his Sword which he had 
dropt, wasftript of all by the .^r^^j.
