JERUSALEM. 333 
as far as the. sepulchres of Zecharias and Ahsalom*, 
and above these, almost to the top of the Mount 
of Olives, the Jews resident in the city bury 
their dead, adhering- still to the coemetery of 
their ancestors : but having long lost the art of 
constructing such immense sepulchres as those 
which have been here described, they content 
themselves with placing Hebrew inscriptions 
upon small upright slabs of marble, or of com- 
mon limestone^ raised after the manner at present 
generally in use throughout the East. 
(4) Sec the Plans of Jerusalem, in the volumes of Sandys, Doubdan, 
Quaresmius, Shaw, and Pococke. Those in Quaresmms {Elitcid. T. 5. 
^.38. tom.W. Antv.\&2t9i^ are taken from Brocardus and Villalpandus, 
and adapted to their descriptions. That of Sandys is the best. See 
also the Plan engraved for this Work.
