   This river is evidently the Barrada, or Barda, as the Arabic
   renders, the Chrysorrhoas of the Greeks, which taking its rise
   in Antilibanus, runs eastward towards Damascus, where it is
   divided into three streams, one of which passes through the
   city, and the other two through the gardens; which reuniting
   at the east of the city, forms a lake about five or six
   leagues to the south-east, called Behairat el Marj, or, Lake
   of the Meadow.  Pharpar was probably one of the branches.
