taken the name of Hhormont, and a little beyond it there is a covered Kervanferay Hhomont. 
where we Lodged : this place is five Jgatfcb from Schemzenghi. 
We parted frotn thence on Saturday half an hour after a eleven a Clock at 
Night, and took our way full South, by a very bad and ftony Road. Sunday 
about four a Clock in the Morning we pafled by a little covered Kervanferay, called 
Serten, then taking our way Eajitvard, after an hours Travelling we tound ano- sert en. 
ther called Bedgi Paria: a little after we came to a running water, the clearnefs Bedgi-Parîi, 
whereof tempted us to fill our Mataras, or leathern Bottles, but it was good 
luck that Ibid one of the Company (who alighted purpofely from his Horre,J to tafle 
it firrt ; for he found it to be as Salt as Salt it felf. Our way continued ftill bad, 
(ill about feven of the Clock in the Morning, that we came to a Kervanferay, 
called T'enghidalan h this Kervanferay is covered as many others are, but it is much T<nghidaUn. 
finer. It is a Square about eight Fathom", in the middle of each Face there is a 
great Arch, by which one enters into Vaults, which make a Crofs, as in the 
others, but they are higher, and it is not under thefe Vaults that Travellers 
Lodge i for the Chambers are in the four Corners, about three Fathom fquare, 
two or three foot railed from the Ground, and open on the two fides within, 
where there are great Arches from the Floer up to the Vault ^ each Chamber hath 
its Chimny, and other fmall conveniences : the Place in the middle is covered 
with a Vome, in which there is a great round opening in the top, By one of the 
Gates of this Kervanjeray there runs a very clear Brook, about a good Foot broad, 
which falls into an oblong fquare Bafon in the middle, and keeps it always fulU 
then it paffes farther in fuch another Canal as brought it, and runs out at the 
oppofite Gate : this Brook comes from a Hill two Muskets fhot from the Kervan- 
feray -t it falls down from it impetuoully in a Channel above a Foot broad,and about 
hah as deep, and is received on the firfi: Pillar of a broken Arch, which is fhaped 
like a Well \ there are a great many of thefe broken Arches in a row, with fome 
ruins of the Pillars s and I believe they have been beaten down by the force of 
the water, which in time of Rain is very great at that place, nay fome of it too 
ran then betwixt the Pillars : perhaps it was becaufe they were afraid of that 
accident, that they brought not the water upon thefe Arches, which in all appear- 
ance were only made for Ornament. The water falling down into this Well, 
runs under Ground about twenty Fathom length, and conrvcs up again by the 
Pillar of the firft of the Arches that remain entire to the number of eleven, (this 
Pillar being alfo like a well) and rifing to a height, it glides away in a Channel like 
to that which comes from the Hill, fave that it is carried along thefe Arches that 
are about a Fathom and a half high, till coming to a higher Ground, the Canal 
is not above two Foot higlj, and a little farther runs level with the Grownd, where 
making feveral turnings and windings, it waters the Roots of a great deal of 
Liquorice growing by the fides cf it, until it come to the Kervanferay. The truth 
is, that water is not good to drink, and it is only neceffity that makes men ule it, 
when there is none in a Ciftern clofe by \ but it ferves at leaft to cool the Kervan- 
feray, and to wafh any thing in. Adjoyning to this Kervanferay there is another 
very little one, through which the fame water runs-, and a little farther there is a 
third, which is bigger, but fomewhat ruinous. This place is five Jgatfch from 
Hhormont. 
We parted from thence Mow^/^j the fixth of Afril, half an hour after Midnight i 
at firft, for above an hour we had very bad ftony way, but it proved pretty good 
afterward; about two in the Morning we pafled by a little covered Kervan- 
feray, called Ber^ei Vobetid, and about four a Clock by another, called Vgei Bhm : mrkei Dobsnd, 
at break of day we entered into bad way again, where we clambered up znà Dgei Hhon, 
down for above an hour among ftones s and then we found the way better, 
till we came to a covered Kervanferay, called Kor Bazirghion, that is to fay the jj^or Bi-ijrghî^ 
Merchants Ditch, where we arrived about eight a Clock. This Kervanferay is on. 
pf the fame bignefs as the other where we Lodged the day before ■■, it is built 
much after the fame manner, having in each Corner three Chambers, of which 
the one (which is on the infide,) is open by Arches on two fides, and the other 
two have their Door without the Kervanferay. this place is five Agatfch from 
^jng^iddan.
