21.7 gone to Hazor? How about its ford? let me go to Hamath, 21.8 to Takar, to Takar-Aar, the all-assembling place of the Mohars; come 22.1 then, on the road that leads there. Make me to see Jah. How has one got to Matamim? 22.2 Do not repel us by thy teachings; make us to know them. _Section 4_ 22.3 I will speak to thee of the towns other than the preceding ones. Wentest thou not to the land of Takhis, to Cofer-Marlon, to Tamena, 22.4 to Qodesh, to Dapour, to Adjai, and to Harnemata? Hast thou not seen Keriath-Anab, near to 22.5 Beith-Tuphar? Knowest them not Odulam and Tsidphoth? Knowest thou not the name of 22.6 Khaouretsa, which is in the land of Aup? 'Tis a bull on his frontier, the place where one sees the battle (melee) 22.7 of the brave ones. Come then to the image of Sina: let me know Rohob: 22.8 represent to me Beith-Sheal as well as Keriathaal. The fords of the 23.1 Jordan, how does one cross them? let me know the passage to enter Mageddo, whereof it remains to speak. Thou art a Mohar, 23.2 expert in courageous deeds.

Thou makest thy name of Mohar known, 23.6 master of the captains of Egypt; thy name becomes like that of Kadjarti, the Chief of Assur, after his encounter with 23.7 the hyenas in the wood, on the defile infected by the wood-hidden Shasous. 23.8 Some of these were four cubits from the nose to the heel: fierce without mildness, not listening to caresses. 23.9 Thou art alone, no guide with thee, nor troop behind thee. Didst thou not meet the Marmar? He makes thee 24.1 pass: thou must decide on departing, and knowest not the road. Anxiety seizes thee, thy hair bristles up: 24.2 thy soul places itself in thy hand: thy way is full of rocks and rolling stones, no practicable passage; the road is obstructed by 24.3 hollies, nopals,(460) aloes and bushes called "dog-wolf's shoes." On one side is the precipice, on the other rises the vertical wall of the mountain. 24.4 Thou must advance going down. Thy car strikes the wall and thy horses are startled b
