February xiv.
We set out by eight a clock this morning, and at an hour’s distance from the city once more cross the Hyllus at the meeting of two opposite hills, which shut in the plains of Thyatira. Hence we pass thro a forest to Gelemba, an hour before which place occur caves with square and regular doors cut out of solid rocks. At Gelemba we lodge in the great kane, by the door of which at the distance of ten or twelve yards runs the famous Caicus. Here we drank a pleasant sort of Turkish liquor, made of grapes steeped in water with flower of mustard seed.
