[641] _Gesta_, 168; R. Howden, iii. 112. These writers say Richard camped outside the city, and place the affair of the dromond on the next day, June 7. But the _Estoire_ distinctly locates the meeting with the dromond between Beyrout and Sidon. R. Diceto, ii. 94, dates it June 6, which is doubtless correct. Bohadin’s date, June 11 (p. 220), is impossible. Ambrose goes on to say that after the wind changed the king “jut devant Sor cil nuitie” (l. 2308); for which the _Itin._ has “proxima nocte ante Tyrum fixis anchoris classis persistebat” (p. 210).

[646] The _Est._, ll. 2753, 2754, says four hundred knights and seven thousand foot. The _Itin._, 61, says seven hundred knights, besides other fighting men, and that with these “non prorsus ad novem millia robur numeratum excrevit.” [647] “Un samedi al seir,” _Est._, l. 2372; date from _Itin._, 211, R. Diceto, ii. 94, _Gesta_, 169. [648] “Le preuz reis, le quor de lion,” _Est._, l. 2310. [649] _Est._, ll. 2312-24; cf. _Itin._, 210, 211. [650] _Gesta_, 169; R. Howden, iii. 113. [651] _Itin._, 211. [652] _Est._, ll. 4575-88; _Itin._, 213, 214. [653] R. Devizes, 50. [654] _Gesta_, 170. [655] R. Devizes, _l.c._ [656] _Est._, ll. 4610-16; _Itin._, 214, 215. [657] R. Devizes, 50, 51.

The dates are from Bohadin, whose narrative is by far the clearest; the western writers have confused the two assaults, and the date in the _Itinerarium_ is impossible. [660] _Gesta_, 170; R. Howden, iii. 113. [661] _Est._, l. 4808; _Itin._, 220. [662] Bohadin, 222-4, 227, 228.

Devizes, 52; the reference is evidently to Isaiah xxvii. 1. [666] _Gesta_, 170. Bohadin, 225, gives the date of Conrad’s departure for Tyre as “Monday 30 Jomada 1.” As 30 Jomada 1 (_i. e._, June 25) that year was Tuesday, he must mean either Monday 24 or Tuesday 25. [667] _Gesta_, 170, 171. [668] _Itin._, 122. [669] “Post multum vero temporis,” _Gesta_, 171; but as we have seen that Conrad went to Tyre on June 24 or 25, and we shall see that he was back again at Acre early in July, the writer must surely have meant “non multum.” [670] _Gesta_, 171; R. Howden, iii. 114. [671] See lists in _Est._, ll. 4705-35, and _Itin._, 217, 218. [672] _Gesta_, 173; _Est._, ll. 4815-34, 4867-71; _Itin._, 222. [673] _Gesta_, 173; R. Howden, iii. 117.
