Travellers from Jerusalem who wish to go to Capharnaum, as Arculf
relates, take the straight road through Tiberias, then along by the lake
10]
of Cinereth, which is also the sea of Tiberias and the sea of Galilee.
They use the place of the blessing, mentioned above, as a thoroughfare
by means of which, along the brink of the lake already mentioned, they
reach Capharnaum by a fairly short circuit. It is on the lake shore, in
the territory of Zabulon and Neptalim. As Arculf relates (he saw it from
15]
the neighbouring mountain) the city has no wall; but, confined as it is
between the mountain and the lake, stretches for a considerable distance
along the seashore, and runs from west to east, with the mountain to the
north and the lake to the south.
