SECT. III. The situation of Sarepta.

a 1.1 INDE [à Tyro] Euhydra, ac Sarepta, & Ornithon oppida▪ Et Sidon artifex vitri•• Thebarumque Baeotiarum parens. From Tyre is Euhydra, and Sarepta, and Ornithon, certain Towns so called: Sidon where Glass is made, and from whence sprung the Beoti∣an Thebes.

Borchard. A Tyro ad tres leucas admodum breves, &c. About three very short leagues from Tyre, the River Eleutherus runs into the Sea; About two leagues from that River is Sarepta: About two leagues from Sarepta is Sidon. Sarepta at this time doth not consist of above eight Houses, though the ruines do still say it was once a brave Town.

Some would have Zarephath signifie as much as a place of melting; from boiling and melting metals, but especially Glass.

b 1.2 Between Acon and Tyre there is a shoare all spread over with little hillocks of sand; 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, that bears a glassey sand: the Glass indeed is not cast here, but be∣ing carried to Sidon, there it is made fusile, &c.
