POCOCKE'S TRAVELS which they carry water on the backs of the ca- mels. The Franciscans of the convent of Jerusalem, who here go under the name of physicians, have a small conyent, and the Coptis have a church four miles off, though there are many Christians in the town. There are vineyards about two leagues to the west, where the Christians make very good white- wine: they have, likewise, fine raisins, and the Mahometans make a syrup of the juice of the grape, by boiling it; this is brought to ...the table, and is very agreeable food. I had here an apartment in the cashiPs house; and his people persuaded me to send back my horses, promising that I should be well supplied ; but I was afterwards obliged to hire very bad horses at an extravagant price. I was daily furnished with provisions in my own room, and sometimes the cashif sent for me to dine with him, when the drams went plentifully round while we were eating, and he diverted himself with jesting with two or three, who seemed to be with him, as dependants, expecting some little government ; for when the Turks are in private, they lay aside theit gnravity, and are as merry as the Europeans.
