5269. About the destruction of Babel, and about the great city there between the north and the west
Between the north and west, behind that city Babel spoken of above on pgs. 276-279 [5249ֵ7] was a mountain. It stretched quite far into mountain and plain and from both sides, toward the north and down to the southern region, and from the other, [western] side all the way to the eastern one, so that from the other part of that mountain and from the sides there was large and wide tract.
5269. CONCERNING THE DESTRUCTION OF BABEL, AND CONCERNING THE GREAT CITY THERE BETWEEN THE NORTH AND WEST.
Between the north and west, behind that Babylonish city whereof I spoke above - page 356 1- there was a mountain which continued into a country of mountains and plains, farther on, and also on both sides, from the north as far as to the southern quarter there, and from the other side [of the mountain] as far as to the eastern; so that, from the other part of that mountain, and from the sides, there extended a large and wide district.
