are the following...
Shaqq . a shallow valley, perhaps 80 miles long
from N. to S., and on the average about 10 miles broad
between Umm Janeib on the E. and Dibdibah on the W.
It ends on the N. about 20 miles NW. of Jahrah, and

The word Dhul‘ here is the same as <Jal 6 ( ) which
occurs in the Arabic version of the treaty: it there
fore seems possible that this is the solution of the
difficulty. I wonder if I might have another look
at the correspondence and the copy of the Arabic, so
that I may see how this information affects the issue
f.
