"In the valley under Zerin there are two considerable springs," "one of which, perhaps that here referred to, "flows from under a" sort of cavern in the wall of conglomerate rock which here forms the base of Gilboa. The water is excellent; and issuing from "crevices in the rocks, it spreads out at once into a fine limpid" "pool forty or fifty feet in diameter, full of fish" (Robinson)."
