[917] “Ço fu en juin” (“intrante jam mense Junio,” _Itin._) “Lors s’esmut l’ost de la Canoie Par mi les plains tut contre val Vers Ybelin de l’Ospital, Joste Ebron,” _Est._, ll. 9509-14; _Itin._, 360. Bohadin places this movement a little earlier; after mentioning an event which he dates 17 Jomada I (= May 31) he continues “The enemy meanwhile had moved from El Hesy, and was at the diverging-point of the ways of which one leads to Ascalon, one to Beit Djibrin, another to the tents of Islam” (303). Stubbs (note to _Itin._, 360) suggests Galatia, in Arabic Keratieh, as the place indicated. As Bohadin frequently antedates by a day or two the movements of the Franks, he may have done so in this instance. “El Hesy” here, as in a later passage, seems to stand for the Wady el Hesy as a whole; thus including of course the Canebrake. [918] _Est._, ll. 9519-52; _Itin._, 361. [919] _Est._, ll. 9553-680; cf. _Itin._, 361-4. On one passage, omitted in my summary of William’s speech, one would like to have more light. “Remembre te de l’aventure De la riche descomfiture E de Haltfort que rescussis, Que li cuens de Seint Gile assis Aveit, que tu desbaretas E vileinement l’en jetas” (ll. 9609-14). The editors of Bertrand de Born and of the _Estoire_ know nothing of the event here alluded to, and there seems to be no mention of it elsewhere and no clue to its date. [920] _Est._, ll. 9681-90. The last line is: “Devant les barons d’Escalone.” _Barons_ here is nonsense. G. Paris suggests “bailles,” a possible equivalent for the Latin, “extra pomoeria Ascaloniae foris,” _Itin._, 365. [921] _Est._, ll. 9692-720; _Itin._, _l.c._, giving the date, June 4. [922] Bohadin, 299, 300. [923] _Ib._, 303. [924] _Est._, ll. 9817-21; _Itin._, 369. [925] Bohadin, 310. [926] _Est._, ll. 9813-17; _Itin._, _l.c._ [927] _Est._, ll. 9748-88; _Itin._, 367. “A close Pentecoste, mien escient le samedi,” says Ambrose, l. 9748; the _Itinerarium_ says “Die Dominica, scilicet in octavis Sanctae Trinitatis”; but Bohadin, 303, says 23 Jomada I, which agrees with Ambrose. The French translation of Bohadin has erroneously “8 juin.” [928] _Est._, ll. 9797-802; Bohadin, 304. [929] _Itin._, 368; Bohadin, _l.c._ [930] _Est._, ll. 9806-10; _Itin._, _l.c._ [931] _Est._, ll. 9809-13; _Itin._, 368, 369. Bohadin, 304, says the Franks left Natroun and advanced to Beit Nuba on Wednesday, 27 Jomada I; _i. e._ June 10. [932] Bohadin, 304, 305. [933] Bohadin, 305. The French translation gives the date as “le 19 de Jomada premier,” which would be June 2. Possibly “19” is a misprint for “29.” [934] _Est._, ll. 9835-64; _Itin._, 359. [935] Cf. _Est._, ll. 9885-922, and _Itin._, 371, 372. [936] _Est._, ll. 9947-10088; Bohadin, _l.c._; Imad-ed-Din, _apud_ Abu Shama, 55; all with date June 16; _Itin._, 373, with date June 17. [937] _Est._, ll. 10140-210; _Itin._, 379-81. [938] _Est._, ll. 10213-59; _Itin._, 381, 382. [939] Bohadin, 306.
