"We went up mount Quarantena in company with ſome eccleſiaſticks, having an Arabian for our guide. Formerly the Arabians concealed themſelves in the cavities of this mountain, and would not ſuffer the Franks to come up; but at preſent the fathers of the Holy Land pay ten piaſters per annum caphar, or paſſage-money, and thus have free acceſs to the ſummit of it. The aſcent is very toilſome, being moſtly up a rock, that without aſſiſtance it would ſcarce be practicable in ſome places."
