Precise Coordinates NotesBurckhardt, Travels in Syria and the Holy Land (1822) (page 357): part of the widespread Khilda sites (across the road from El Kholda / Khilda and "half an hour" by horse (6 km, which is far for half an hour on a horse) to Sar; it looks to me like Khilda has subsumed this name; Burckhardt’s narrative begins in Fuheis / Feheis and not in Salt; Google Maps plots a 20km foot journey from there to the Roman theater at Amman at 4 hours 14 minutes (Google Maps), close to the 3 hours 30 minutes that Burckhardt reports
