1And I saw other mountains, and amongst them were ⌜groves of⌝ trees, and there flowed forth from them nectar, which is named sarara and galbanum. 2And beyond these mountains I saw another mountain ⌜to the east of the ends of the earth⌝, ⟦whereon were aloe trees⟧, and all the trees were full of stacte, being like almond trees. 3And when one burnt it, it smelt sweeter than any fragrant odour.
