From Usu the Mohar is naturally taken to the island rock of Tyre. Next comes a name which it is difficult to identify. All that is clear is that between Zar or Tyre and Zair'aun there is some connection both of name and of locality. Perhaps Dr.
It is dangerous to enter Zair'aun. Come, Mohar. Go forward on the way to the land of Pa-'Aina. Towards which town? Pray look at the mountain of User. How is its crest? Who can surmount it? Mohar, whither must you take a journey to the land of Hazor? How is its ford? Be good enough to spy out its road; cast a look on Yâ.... When one goes to the land of Adamim, to what is one opposite?
Brugsch is right in thinking that in the next sentence there is a play upon the Hebrew word zir'âh, "hornet," which seems to have the same root as Zair'aun. It may be that Zair'aun is the ancient city south of Tyre whose ruins are now called Umm el-'Amûd, and whose older name is said to have been Turân. This is on the road to Zib, the ancient Achshaph or Ekdippa.
