I saw a number of rough columns of this stone,
2' in diameter.

" In the eastern part of the city are the remains
of a building 100' hv 155-?,-'. In the centre of one
of the longest sides is a semicircular apse, the
chord of which measured 70'. The wall is altogether
of conglomerate, and is only 4' high, except the
circular part, which is 8' in height. This part
is finished by a plain coping, and the rest of the
wall also seems still of its original height, as there
are no ruins lying about as if it had fallen.

" The valley is covered in many places with im-
penetrable thickets, and is very unhealthy. The
ground, where it is cultivated, is very fertile ; hut I
saw large crops of ripe grain standing uncut from
want of labourers. In different places in the valley
are the ruins of monasteries, none of which, how-
ever, are in any way remarkable."
