“We went up mount⟳ Quarantena in company with ſome eccleſiaſticks, having an Arabian for our guide⟳. Formerly the Arabians concealed themſelves in the cavities of this mountain, and would not ſuffer the Franks to come⟳ up; but at preſent the fathers of the Holy Land⟳ pay⟳ ten piaſters per annum caphar, or paſſage-money, and thus have⟳ free acceſs to the ſummit of it. The aſcent is very toilſome, being moſtly up a rock, that without aſſiſtance it would ſcarce be practicable in ſome places.”
