"I saw at Rabbath Moab cyclopean ground walls, laid without mortar, and street lines of basalt pavement, a colonnade and some small temple yet standing of Greekish building. If you will believe them, under the next great heap of stones lies Great Alexander, who they call Thu el Kurneyn "of the two horns," and merito as who in his life would needs be accounted an offspring of the god Ammon, with his ram's head."

What anguishes are rankling in the lees of the soul,the heart-nipping unkindness of a man's friends,his defeated endeavours!betwixt the birth and death of the mind,what swallowing seas, and storms of mortal miseries!And when the wildfire is in the heart and he is made mad,the incontinent hands would wreak the harm upon his own head,to blot out the abhorred illusion of the world and the desolate remembrance of himself

Wonders are told also in Arabia of the Beny Kelb, a tribe of human hounds.
...
They say, "The Kelb housewives and daughters are like fair women, but the male kind, a span in stature and without speech, are white hounds. When they have in sight any guest approaching, the hospitable men-dogs spring forth to meet him, and holding the lap of his mantle between their teeth, they towse him gently to their nomad booths."
