o / PETRA. 153 by the ravine which presents itself near the borderor margin below. By advancing a little in thatdirection we commanded a view of the whole citycovered with ruins, and of its superb enclosure ofrocks, pierced with myriads of tombs, which forma series of wondrous ornaments all round. Astonished by these countless excavations \ I a Some hundred yards be-low this spring begin the out-skirts of the vast Necropolis ofPetra. Many door-ways are vi-sible, upon different levels cut inthe side of the mountain, whichtowards this part begins to as-sume a more rugged aspect; themost remarkable tombs standnear the road, which follows thecourse of the brook. The first ofthese is on the right hand, and iscut in a mass of whitish rock,which is in some measure insu-lated and detached from thegeneral range. The centre re-presents the front of a squaretower, with pilasters at the cor-ner, and with several successivebands of frieze and entablatureabove; two low wings projectfrom it at right
