Moan is a small town in possession of the (Ax-el (^^f)
Ommiades. Bagheras is a town in which there are publick
inns, erected by oc X ajj Zeihdeh, or Zebideh; and in all Syria
there are not any besides. Serout is a pleasant town, in
the district of Demeshk, on the borders of the Sea of Roum.
Juzai, the author of the Chronicles, dwelt there*.
Distances of Places in Sham and Jezireh.
T he length of the roads of Sham is taken from Meli-
tiah to Remah. From Melitiah to ^ Menje is four days
journey; from Menje to ifoZeZ^ Aleppo, two days jour
ney; from Haleb to ^2^ Herness, five days journey ; and froir
Hemess to Demeshk, five days journey; from &Lcj
Ramlah, to ^cj Remah, two days journey: total, twenty-five
days journey. Between Arden, and ^2^.^ Hemess, and
Demeshk, the extent is not more than a journey of
the city (Sodom) upside down, and rained on them stones of baked clay. ' The first
passage is translated by Maracci, (Alcor. Vol. II. p. 383,) " Sustulit ergo eos clamor
(Gabrielis) ad ortum solis pervenientes." I have offered some remarks on this passage
in the Oriental Collections, Vol. II. p. 131.
