The Bujat is everywhere set in a regular rim of mountains. It is distant a ride of two hours, and we have now seen it for three marches. A little south of east yawns the gorge-mouth of the Wady Nejd, the upper course of the Aba'l-Gezaz: a jagged black curtain, the Jebel Dausal, forms its southern jaw.
At Aba'l-Gezaz, Mohammed destroyed all our surviving hopes by picking up a black stone which, he declared, belonged to El-Muharrak. It was schist, with a natural fracture not unlike coal, and weathered into the semblance of wood: unfortunately it was hard as iron, and it did not contain an atom of bitumen.
Amongst them is not included the gem of our discovery, the classical shrine, known as Gasr Gurayyim Sa'id, nor the minor ateliers, El-Kubbah, Aba'l-Gezaz, and the remains upon the Marwat ridge.
