2S I went a shoare againe ; where I found our Cap-'
taines counting their monys for Aleppo, but there wee
stay all night.
29 This day about 10 of the clock, Captaine Har-
man of the Gynny and my selfe, and a Janizary,
and bis man, and my man, doe bc^n our jumy to-
wards Aleppo. At a place calld Byland, about 10
miles from Scanderoond wee dine, at an olde Greek's
house, with good mutton steaks; and drank good
wine, and payd a dollar. Tis a very strange built
towne, standing uppon cliffs of rocks ; on house as
it were on the top of another, for 6 or 7 houses
h^h ; like pigion holes -at a house end : so that it is
a very difficult thing to hnde the passage from on
house to another, and as dangerouse for a man to
goe it when he hath found it.
About 6 or 8 miles from hence wee passe over a
small bridge, by which stands a little howse, where
you must call, and drink a dish of coffee, and give
them halfe a dollar at least. Passing from hence,
wee socHie overtime our carevan, viz. a company of
carriers of at least 600, every on haveing som armes;
and besyds them about 50 armed souldyers, which
are our guard.
