* Beer.
   Probably the Beer mentioned by Mr. Maundrell, three hours and
   a half, or about ten miles, north of Jerusalem, towards
   Shechem.  It is situated toward the south, on an easy
   declivity; and has a fountain of excellent water at the bottom
   of the hill, from which it has taken its name.  Close to the
   well are the mouldering walls of a ruined {khan;} and on the
   summit of the hill two large arches still remain of a ruined
   convent.  Dr. Richardson says, that it seems to have been once
   a place of considerable consequence.
