From thence we departed in flat-bottomed barks more strong and greater than those of Euphrates, and were eight and twenty days also in passing down this river to Balsara, but we might have done it in eighteen or less if the water had been higher. Upon the water’s side stand by the way divers towns resembling much the names of the old prophets; the first town they call Ozeah and another Zecchiah 1 .
