To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Emmaus. — A difficulty arises as to the thermal springs which should, it is supposed, be found at a place so called, but which are unknown in Judrea. The word Hammam is used in Arabic of any bath whether hot or cold, though the root means "hot ;" but perhaps the origin of the name of the southern Emmaus maybe from the same Hebrew root whence Hamath is derived, a word which means a " defended place. " In Arabic this root is Ildmi, and the name Ard el Hami applies, curiously enough, to the countr...y above Hammath on the west side of the Sea of Galilee. Professor Socin's Paper. — Professor Socin's criticism has been well met by Mr. Besant. The survey of Palestine follows the Hakki, or vulgar Arabic of the peasantry — a dialect containing, as 1 have shown in former papers, most valuable survivals of Aramaic w r ords and forms. Any criticism based on the grammatical rules of the Nahu or schoolmasters' Arabic, rules dating not earlier than the ninth century a. D. , and often not in accord with the vigorous language of the Koran, must be considered to miss the very spirit of the nomenclature of the survey, which aims at the preserva- tion of the peasant forms.
