[814] _Itin._, 289. [815] _Est._, ll. 7207-32; _Itin._, 290. [816] “Car si a vos mescheiet E qui issi fust escheiet, Cristente sereit tuee,” _Est._, ll. 7341-3. [817] _Est._, ll. 7233-66; _Itin._, 291-4. [818] Bohadin, 284, 285. [819] _Ib._, 286. [820] _Ib._ [821] _Itin._, 296. [822] Bohadin, _l.c._; cf. Ibn Alathyr, 53. [823] Ibn Alathyr, _l.c._ [824] Bohadin, 286, 287. [825] In the French edition of Bohadin the date is given as “le 11 Chouwal,” _i. e._ November 1. But evidently this is impossible; it must mean 21 Shawal = November 11. [826] Bohadin, 287-91. The accounts of these negotiations given in _Est._, ll. 7370-428, and _Itin._, 295-7, are obviously less trustworthy. [827] Bohadin, 292, says he went to Tell el Jezer, _i. e._ “the Hill of the Bridge,” Stubbs, note 1 to _Itin._, 298; possibly a bridge over the little river that runs through the Wady Ali, between Natroun and Amwas. The Frank chroniclers say he went “dreit al Toron as Chevalers,” _i. e._ Natroun, _Est._, ll. 7456-62; “versus Darum,” _Itin._, 298. Stubbs in a note suggested that “Darum” here was a phonetic error for “Toron”; this the _Estoire_ practically proves; and I venture to think the passage furnishes a little bit of evidence on another question, for if the Latin “translator” had “al Toron as Chevalers” before his eyes, how came he to misrender it “versus Darum”? whereas if Ambrose found “Darum” in his friend’s notes, and noticed that it was a mistake, he would of course correct it in his own version of the story. [828] See Note III at end. [829] _Est._, ll. 7429-41; cf. _Itin._, 297. [830] _Est._, ll. 7471-6; cf. _Itin._, 298. [831] _Est._, ll. 7477-8; _Itin._, 299, “verum non in deliciis.” [832] Bohadin, 292. [833] The later high road to Jerusalem from Joppa goes by Ramlah, but not by Amwas and Beit Nuba; it passes further south, through the Wady Ali. [834] _Itin._, 305. [835] See, _e. g._, the story of the fight in which the Earl of Leicester was nearly lost, _Est._, ll. 7480-604, _Itin._, 300-3. [836] See Note IV at end. [837] Cf. R. Howden, iii. 17, with Ibn Alathyr, 54, who makes the day December 22, while Roger makes it the 23rd. [838] Abu Shama, _Recueil_, V., 49; seemingly from “récit du Cadi,” _i. e._ Bohadin, but the passage does not occur in either the French or the Dutch edition of Bohadin’s work. [839] _Est._, ll. 7617-25; cf. _Itin._, 303. [840] “E li Turc qui bien conisseient Le rei Richart e sa baniere E sa vistece e sa maniere,” Est., ll. 7738-40. For “e sa baniere” the _Itin._, 307, has “_ex_ ejus imminente baneria.” Probably _e_ in l. 7739 should be _a_. [841] _Est._, ll. 7717-60; _Itin._, 306, 307. On the localities mentioned in this incident see Note IV at end. [842] _Est._, ll. 7627-704; cf. _Itin._, 305. [843] _Est._, ll. 7705-16; cf. _Itin._, 305, 306.
