ETHIOPIC MS. BY THE LATE RICHARD LAURENCE, BISHOP OF CASHEL.
CHAP 27
1. From thence I proceeded towards the east, to the middle of the
mountain in the desert, the level surface only of which I perceived.
2. It was full of trees of the seed alluded to; and water leaped down
upon it.
3. There appeared a cataract composed as of many cataracts both
towards the west and towards the east. Upon one side were trees;
upon the other water and dew.
CHAP 28
1. Then I went to another place from the desert, towards the east of
that mountain which I had approached.
2. There I beheld choice trees, particularly those which produce the
sweet smelling drugs, frankencense and myrrh; and trees unlike to each
other.
3. And over it, above them, was the elevation of the eastern mountain
at no great distance.
CHAP 29
1. I likewise saw another place with valleys of water which never wasted,
2. Where I perceived a goodly tree, which in smell resebled ZASAKINON.
3. And towards the sides of these valley I perceived cinnamon of a sweet
odour. Over them I advanced towards the east.
CHAP 30
1. Then I beheld another mountain containing trees, from which water
flowed like NEKETRO. Its name was SARIRA, and KALBONEBA. And upon
this mountain I beheld another mountain, upon which were trees of ALVA.
2. These trees were full, like almond trees, and strong; and when
they produced fruit, it was superior to all perfume.
