Of Thamar.

THamar, Tadmor, or Palmira, stood partly in the desart of Si∣ria, and partly in a fruitfull soile; being compassed about on the one side with a Wood, on the other with faire and pleasant fields. It was the Metropolitan city of all Syria, not farre from Euphrates, some 388 miles from Ierusalem Northeastward; and as Pliny saith, lib. 5. cap. 25. Although it lay betwixt two mighty Empires, Rome and Parthia, yet it was subiect to neither; fairely scituated, a free city, adorned with fair and sumptuous buildings, and contented with their own gouernment. The wildernesses cal∣led after this towns name, Palmarnae, or the desarts of the Palms, extend themselues to Petra the metropolitan city of Arabia Pe∣traea, and to the borders of Arabia foelix, one daies journey from Euphrates, two from the vpper part of Syria, and six from Baby∣lon, as Iosephus obserueth, Antiq. lib. 8. cap. 5. This city Solomon made tributary to him, and fortified it with strong walls, 1 Reg. 9.
