The summits of the mountain of Adjeloun, which mark the limits between
Adjeloun and Moerad, are called Oeraboun [Arabic]. Half of it belongs to
Adjeloun, the other to Moerad. It contains the following ruined places;
Szafszaf [Arabic], El Hezar [Arabic], Om Eddjeloud [Arabic], Om Djoze
[Arabic], El Haneik [Arabic], Eshkara, [Arabic], Oeraboun [Arabic], El
Ehsenye [Arabic], Serabeis [Arabic], Nedjde [Arabic].
15. Ezzoueit [Arabic] 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.
