[Illustration: Arabia] FOOTNOTES: [1] May not this wady have been once a noble stream perhaps, as Glaser conjectures, the fourth of the Paradise rivers? (Gen ii. 10-14) Upon the question as to where the ancient Semites located Paradise Glaser says that it was in the neighborhood of the confluence of the Euphrates and Tigris, on the Arabian side. There the sacred palm of the city of Eridu grew; there according to the view of the ancient Arabs the two larger wadys of Central Arabia opened. The one is the Wady er-Ruma or the Gaihan; and the other is the Wady ed-Dauasir, _a side wady_ of which in the neighborhood of Hamdani still bears the name of Faishan (Pishon).—See “Recent Research in Bible Lands,” by H.V. Hilprecht, (Philadelphia, 1897). See also _The Sunday-School Times_, Vol. XXXIII, No 49. [2] Samhudi’s History of Medina. (Arabic text p. 40, sqq.) [3] These wastes are also termed _Dakhna_, _Ahkaf_, and _Hamad_ according to the greater or less depth or shifting nature of the sands or the more or less compact character of the soil.
