They also collected some of the stray cattle and flocks which they met with in their flight, and reached the mountains—some say, the next morning—entered them by a narrow track, scarcely distinguishable, made by the wild animals haunting it, and which was almost inaccessible, from rocks serve the Nasiriah dynasty!—I desired to record in writing and forests, and proceeded onwards for a long distance among its mazes until they reached a more open country where was plenty of pasture. At some distance, farther off, they perceived a still higher range, the sides of which, bare and barren, appeared to be of flint alone, and which towered upwards like a vast fortress. With much difficulty they ascended it, and to their great joy found themselves in a delightful tract of country, well watered, with plenty of rich pasture, and abounding with game, and there they resolved to take up their dwelling. This higher range is called Irganah Ku or Kun—or 33—irganah being said to signify a valley, and ku or kun a steep ascent or height—the valley [or table-land?] surrounded by hills, or valley of precipices. The mountains referred to are evidently those mighty ranges towards the sources of the Salingah and its upper tributaries.
