From thence we past on, and came the same Night to _Euphrates_, and having travelled two Days on the Banks of that Famous River, we came to the Tents of the King of the _Arabs_, who had furnish'd us with a Guide for our Voyage. With him we remained two Nights, and in two Days Travel more came back safe to _Aleppo_, having been out in the whole just 18 Days. _The Reverend and Learned Author of this Account, cannot with Justice be censured, if some Minute Particulars of the History of this Place, have escaped his Memory, being obliged to write without recourse to the Books proper for his purpose, which were not to be had in that Country. We have since procured a Curious Prospect of these Noble Ruins, taken on the Place; which, with some further Remarks thereon, are here Published._ FOOTNOTES: [14] This _Assyne_ was in the Year of our Lord 1693. Deposed by the _Turks_, and one _Dor_ advanced to fill his place; so that now he is constrained to live upon Rapine, being followed by a considerable Number of Men, who delight not to Labour, nor to live under any settled Government. [15] 'Tis not improbable that ΟΛΟΓΕΣΙΑΣ might have been the Name of a Person. _Vologeses_ is a known Name in History among the _Parthian_ Kings; to which the other seems to bear a great Affinity. [16] _Plin. Secun. Ep. l._ 2. Tells us of one, who was accused of an Illegal Exaction of Money from a Province, _Titulo Unguentarii_; now what was in that case unjustly exacted, might be in this a Voluntary Donation, not of the Province to the Governour, but of a great Man to the People. Or else _Unguentarium_ may be supposed to be a Donative, like _Clavarium_ or _Culinarium_, used sometimes by the _Romans_. [17] This Word I find both in _Tacitus_ and _Strabo_, used for a kind of Ships or Boats, long, narrow, light, and capable of receiving 20, or at most 30 Men; but what they should do with Boats in an Inland Town, without either River or Lake near it, I cannot imagine. I rather adhere to the other signification. _An Extract of the Journals of two several Voyages of the _English Merchants_ of the Factory of _Aleppo_, to _Tadmor_, anciently call'd _Palmyra_._
