* the mountains.
   These mountains were a ridge of rugged hills east of Jordan,
   and north and west of the Arnon.  Nebo, Pisgah, and Peor, were
   but different names of the hills of which they were composed.
   Eusebius and Jerome inform us, that some part of them, as one
   went up to Heshbon, retained the old name of Abarim in their
   time; and that the part called Nebo was opposite Jericho, not
   far from the Jordan, six miles west from Heshbon, and seven
   east from Livias.  Dr. Shaw describes them as "an exceeding
   high ridge of desolate mountains, no otherwise diversified
   than by a succession of naked rocks and precipices; rendered
   in some places the more frightful by a multiplicity of
   torrents, which fall on each side of them.  This ridge is
   continued all along the eastern coast of the Dead sea."  Mount
   Nebo is now called Djebel Attarous; and is described as a
   barren mountain, the highest point in the neighbourhood, with
   an uneven plain on the top.  Burckhardt, Travels, pp. 369,
   370.
