ts
vicinity?--
19.1 How goes it with its ford? Hast thou not made an expedition to Qodesh
and Tubakkhi? Hast thou not gone to the Shasous?
19.2 with the auxiliary body? Hast thou not trampled the road of Pamakar
the sky(459) was dark on the day when
19.3 there flourished the cypresses, the oaks and cedars, which reached up
to heaven: there are many lions, wolves, and hyenas
19.4 which the Shasous track on all sides. Didst thou not ascend the
mountain of Shaoua? Hast thou not travelled, thy arms
19.5 placed on the back of thy car separated from its harness by the
horses drawing it?
19.6 Oh! come to ... barta. Thou hastenest to get there: thou crossest
19.7 its ford. Thou seest a Mohar's trials. Thy car
19.8 is placed in thy hand: thy strength fails. Thou arrivest at the
night: all thy limbs
19.9 are knocked up: thy bones are broken, thou fallest asleep from excess
of somnolence: thou wakest up--
20.1 'Tis the hour when sad night begins: thou art absolutely alone. Comes
there not a thief to rob the
20.2 things left aside: he enters the stable: the horses are agitated: the
thief goes back in the night
20.3 carrying away thy clothes. Thy servant awakes in the night; he
perceives the thief's actions: he takes away the rest,
20.4 he goes among the bad ones; and joins the tribes of the Shasous: and
transforms himself to an Asiatic.
20.5 The enemy comes to plunder, he finds only the wreck: Thou wakest,
dost thou not find them
20.6 in their flight? They take thy baggage. Thou becomest an active and
quick-eared Mohar?
_Section 2_
20.7 I also describe to thee the holy city, whose name is Kapaon (Gabal).
How is it? Of their goddess (we will speak) another time. Therein
20.8 hast thou not penetrated? Come then to Berytus, to Sidon, to Sarepta.
The ford
21.1 of Nazana, where is it? Aoutou, how is it? They are neighbors of
another city on the sea. Tyre the
21.2 port is its name: water is carried to it in barks, it is richer in
fish than in sands.
_Section 3_
21.3 I will speak to thee also of two other small chapters. The entrance
of Djaraou, and the order thou hast given to set this city in flames. A
Mohar's office is a very painful one.
21.4 Come, set off to return to Pakaikna. Where is the road of Aksaph?
21.5 In the environs of the city; come then to the mountain of Ousor: its
top,
21.6 how is it? Where is the mountain of Ikama? Who can master it? What
way has the Mohar
