Adomnán, Holy Places 1.20
Context
Text
Ab Helia septemtrionem versus usque ad Samuhelis civitatem, quae Armathem nominatur, terra petrosa et aspera per quaedam monstratur intervalla; valles quoque spinosae usque ad Tamniticam regionem patentes. Aliter vero a supradicta Helia et monte Sion qualitas regionum monstratur usque ad Cesaream Palestinae occasum versus. Nam quamvis aliqua reperriantur angusta et brevia aspera loca interposita, praecipue tamen latiores plani monstrantur campi interpositis laetiores olivetis.Textual Note
Ed. Bieler 1965Translation
North from Helia up to the city of Samuel, which is called Armathes, the terrain proves to be rocky and rough in certain areas, and the valleys extending as far as the Tamnitic region are full of thorny vegetation. But from the aforementioned Helia and Mount Sion to the west as far as Caesarea Palestinae the regional character is different. For, although here and there can be found rough spots over narrow, short stretches, by and large the wide open, flat plains prove to be very pleasant, with olive trees spread about.Translation Note
