14-0 Trayels into the Levant. Part II. ^ 
There are alfo two Figures at each Gate, which have the fame poftures as thefe, 
ot at leail there is but very little difference-, the Heads of all thefc Figures have 
been knocked off. 
This fquare is about (even Fathom long towards the middle there is a little • 
Stone- Fat of an Obloi^, fquare, with a hole in the bottom to let out the water. 
It is probable that the Walls were all of the fame ll:one as the Doors are, becaufe 
from the Door that looks to the North-Eafl, to that which faces the Soutb-Ea^y 
there ilands a Range (lill, which is of the very fame: the refl lies under ruins, 
or is taken away s and on one of thefe iloncs that remain, near the Smth-Eaji- 
Gate, there are fix Figures in Bafs relief, but very little raifcd, which are fome- 
what more than a Foot high : they reprefent men upright, and following one 
another at equal diUances, in the fame manner as if they were going in Proceffion. 
In one Haiid they hold either a Torch or a Pike, I cannot tell which, for they are 
fo fpoiltthat hardly any thing is to be difcerned. On the other fide of the fame 
Door a little towards the SoMtb, there is another flone with the like Figures. The 
M'fàgîdt Ma- people of the Country call that place Mefdgidi Mader Solinun, (that is to fay) the 
dir Soliman. Mcfqueof the Mother of Soliman^ but can give noreafon for it. The Mahometans 
in and about Schirasgo and pray in that Temple, the day of the little Bairam or 
Courhan Bairami^ (that is to fay) the day of their Eafier of Sacrifices. In fine, 
thefe Antiquities are little preludes to thofe of Tfcbebel-minar^ I had a man who faid 
plaifantly,that the place where they are, ought to be called the little Brother of Tfche- 
hel-minar. 
Having confidered it, you are to go down the other fide of the Hill, oppofite to 
that by which they come up, and continue your way Soutb-Ea^^ a few fteps off, 
you fee to the Right Hand a Spring that runs at the Foot of the Hill, and makes a 
little Bog fliaded over by many high and great Trees, which render this place very 
pleafant : a little further, you fee to the Right Hand a Thicket or fmall Wood, 
all of Rofe-Trees which yield a very lovely profped when they are in the Flower, 
as I faw them. You muft then leave the High- way which leads to the Salt-Lake, 
and draw near the Hills that are to the Left Hand, and but very little diflant from 
the Road -, and having kept going a good quarter of an hour more, you come 
to a very delightful place i for there you have a great many clear Springs full of 
Filli, that glide under the fhade of a great many Planes, A(h- Trees and Willows, 
which fo extend their Boughs, that at Noon day they cover you frorn the Sun, and 
there you may delightfuU-y fpend the whole day in the cool. 
When you are come into this charming place, you muft alight from your Horfe, 
and pafs overalittle water dofe by the Hill upon flepping ftones, that are there in 
great quantity and in a place where the Hill bending makes a kind of Semicircle > 
The Antiqui- you fee at two Fathoms height, two Figures of the ordinary bignefs in Relief^ cut

Two Figures ^^'^^^ Rock, but it is cafie to get up betwixt the Rock and 
in a Rock. tbe Fig- Tree, and to confîder them at nearer diftance. The tirft of thefe feems to 
1 he Figure of be the Figure of a Woman with a naked Body, unlefs towards the Legs, where 
a Woman. one may perceive fome folds of a Gown i behind her Head there is a kind of Crown 
of Rayes cut in the Rock s îbe ftretches out both heir Hands to the neighbouring 
Figure, as to receive fomething that it prefents to her : that neighbouring Figure 
The Figure of reprefents a Man with a long Beard, and his Hair made up into Treflfes behind i 
a Man, ^ his Head-attire feems to be much like a Sn>ijjes Cap, for it fets clofe to his Head, 
covers all his Brow, and is broader above than below > there is this difference that 
it riles round inftead of being flat on the Crown : he hath a Girdle and a Sword 
hanging at his Left fide, which is above two Foot and a half long, and at the 
Guard four Fingers broad at leafl, but growing broader and broader it is five Fin- 
gers broad at the end, and draws not into a point : this man feems to prefcnt to - 
the Woman a Pofie of Flowers with the Right Hand, and relis his Left Hand upon 
the Handle of his Sword. 
A little farther, about ten Fathom from thence, and at the fame height of 
Two other Ground, there are two other Figures of the fame bignefs, of which the firfl is of 
Figures. a young Man without a Beard, whofe curled Locks hang backwards behind his 
Head h on it he carries a great Globe, it might be taken for a Turban, but, in my 
Opinion, it appears not to be his Head-attire, though he hath no other i he looks 
towards the neighbouring Figure, and hath the Left Hand fhut, wherein he feems
