on the summit of a rock. The absence or presence of a Mineral
shows whether it belongs to the Faithful or to the Gyaurs
(Infidels) At 12 this day Thursday 10th we had a pretty distinct
view of Jundadass or Jaindadassi a pretty considerable
Gyaur town inhabited by the Greeks. better eyes
than mine pronounced the houses distinct from each other
and flat-roofed. N.B. A Minaret is a round tower which
answers the purpose of a Belfry. It is a attached to the Mosque
to which if forms a constant appendage, but does
not communicate with it. At about 3/4 of the height is
a hole for a door-way opening into a circular
balcony, in which the Sexton, Iman I think he is called
makes his rounds to call the people to Church. The
Balcony is just big enough for the man to walk round
in, the door-way for him to go out at and the sha
Column to receive a staircase for him to crawl
He who has seen one Minaret has seen all.
Fellow traveller Mr : he is to the last degree
him at conduct him thither.
