Mon 7. [7 May 1900] Very cold and the hills wrapt [sic] in mist. I therefore decided to go straight to Kanawat [Al Qanwat]. Went round the town which is full of fine houses. Staircases, a bathroom, a mazar to the Prophet. Left at 8.30, very cold over the hills. Mists. Down a long valley to Kanawat passing Si'a on the left and arrived at 12. Lunched in the Mazar of Job in the big temple and pitched my tent just outside it. Beautiful vine carving on the doorway. Walked all over the town. A very perfect square tower to the S. Lots of good[?] houses, the best in the middle of the town which I take to have been the Seraia. Paved streets and the Halas carved. Saw the theatre the thermae, the kasr and the round tower by it. Came back at 3 when it began to rain in heavy showers. Slept and read and wrote. Cold and bored.
