In the book of Jonah Nineveh isdescribed as an exceeding great city of three days journey (chap. 3 : 3).If we are at liberty to understand these words of the circuit of the quadran-gle above described, they correspond well to its dimensions.

Diodorus (2. 3)describes the wallsof Nineveh as one hundred feet high, and so broad thatthree chariots might be driven on them abreast. Upon the walls stoodfifteen hundred towers, each two hundred feet in height. 5.

And flocksshall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: )^^imi . ^%
