Taking an easterly direction, the road
crosses the well cultivated valley ; a few
poor poplars and willows occur here and there; vineyards are numerous; the vines trail along the
ground and are unsupported by lattice work. The road is 15' wide, unformed ; soil, clay and gra
vel; it undulates, and, rising gently with gradients not greater than ^ to ^ enters the hills
forming the eastern boundary of the Dizfiil valley. By cuttings it passes over the tops of the
undulations, which grow excellent wheat; streams, used to irrigate the fields, cut up the road.
