The procefiion generally began at the Albanian Moun¬ 
tain, whence the general with his retinue made his entry 
into the city on foot, (fometimes on horfeback, but never 
in a chariot,) with flutes or pipes founding in concert as 
he palled along, and wearing a garland of myrtle as a token 
of peace. The term ovation, according to Servius, is de¬ 
rived from ovis, a fheep; becaufe on this occafion the con¬ 
queror facrificed a flieep, as in a triumph he facrificed a

OUBIN'SKOI, or Vobrof'skoi, mountains of Ruflia, 
which form, at the fources of the Ouba and Ulba, acon- 
fiderable ridge, towering in lofty fummits to high fnoW- 
mountains, fending out its branches on both fides of 
thofe rivers, efpecially between them, and at its foot bor¬ 
dered by the Irtifch. The greateft height rifes near Vo- 
broflkaia with porphyry, which in the north and fouth 
O U D 
is frequently changed for granite, whofe fummits, fome¬ 
times with gentle, and then with bold, afcents, furround 
the molt delightful vales, abounding in odoriferous herbs 
of various kinds. In the region about the fortrefs Ouft- 
kameneyorlk, the granite is under-run by fchiftofe earth, 
in ancient times explored by the Tfliudi, who took plea- 
fure in'mining. The mountains in which are the fources 
of the Ouba confift of granite, porphyry, marl wake, pe- 
trofilex, and quartz. Towards the eaft the Oubinlkoi 
mountains rear theirlofty fummits, which, meafured with 
the line, were found to be 5691 Englifh feet above the 
water of the river Ouba, which devolves its pleafant 
ftreams beneath their monftrous cliffs. In thefe moun¬ 
tains have been lately found the Filipofskoi mines, on the
