Travels in Arabia, by John Lewis Burckhardt

Mokhowa, [Arabic] mentioned in pp. 112, 189, &c. must not be confounded with Mokha, [Arabic] on the sea-coast. Mokhowa is a town ten days distant from Mekka at the western foot of the great chain of mountains.

Page 299 — The Beni Amer — The word Amer [Arabic] in this place must not be confounded with Amer [Arabic] another tribe of Harb.
