The  summits  of  the  mountain  of  Adjeloun,  which  mark  the  limits
between  Adjeloun  and  Moerad,  are  called  Oeraboun  (e).  Half
of  it  belongs  to  Adjeloun,  the  other  to  Moerad.  It  contains  the
following  ruined  places  ;  Szafszaf  (aic),  El  Hezar  (),  Om
Eddjeloud  ),  Om  Djoze  (5),  El  Haneik  (),  Eshkara, -
  (2l),  Oeraboun  (),  El  Ehsenye),  Serabeis

15.  Ezzoueit  (,)  lies  to  the  east  of  Beni  Obeid  and  Moerad,
being  separated  from  the  latter  by  the  Wady  Deir  and  Seil  Djerash; -
  it  is  situated  to  the  north  of  Wady  Zerka,  and  extends
eastwards  beyond  the  Hadj  route  to  the  southward  of  the  ruined
city  of  Om  Eddjemal,  between  Remtha  and  El  Fedhein.  Part  of
it  is  mountainous,  the  remainder  a  flat  country.  There  are  at
present  no  inhabited  villages  in  the  Zoueit.  Its  ruined  places  are
Erhab,  Eydoun,  Dadjemye,  Djebe,  Kafkafa,  Mytwarnol,  Boeidha, -
  Khereysan,  Kherbet,  Szamara,  Khenezein,  Remeith,  Abou
Ayad,  El  Matouye,  Essaherye,  Ain  Aby,  Eddhaleil,  Ayoun.  It
forms  the  southern  parts  of  the  Galaaditis.
Beyond  the  Zerka  the  chain  of  mountains  increases  in  breadth,
and  the  Belka  begins;  it  is  divided  into  different  districts,  of
which  I  may  be  able  to  give  some  account  hereafter.
The  whole  country,  from  Kanneytra  (exclusive)  to  the  Zerka,  is
at  present  in  the  government  of  the  Aga  of  Tabaria  ;  but  this  can
only  happen  when  the  Pasha  of  Acre  is  at  the  same  time  Pasha
of  Damascus.
