[...] South of the Himalaya the quantity of snow that falls is very much greater than in Thibet and from the greater moisture of the air and cloudiness of the sky it is not carried off with the rapidity of evaporation which obtains in Thibet where you do not find a rill even of water from the melting snow. [...] It is composed of rocks and stones of all sizes loosely huddled together on the west side of this and at the foot of the Seboolah Pass which leads to the Lachen Valley is a deep lake the draiage from which passes.through the Moraine above noted and issues at the east side of it as a large stream.

[...] Sohayly and the authors of the 'oyi'm al-Athar of the Tary1612 Hhamvs and of the Insan aroytin give both the version of Ibn Ishgq and that of Tirmidzy pointing out the anachronism of the latter without impugning the veracity of other details."1852) Mohommod's Journey to Syria.
