_small_ house.--_Enc. Amer. Art. Indian Languages, vol. 6, p. 586._

[10] It is reported on very good authority that the same olive trees
are now standing in the garden of Gethsemane under which the
Saviour wept and near which he was betrayed. This is rendered more
probable from the fact, that a tax is laid, by the Ottoman Porte,
