(531) They further relate that it was there that Abraham, the progenitor of the Jews, took up his abode after his migration from Mesopotamia, and from here that his posterity went down into Egypt. (532) Their tombs are shown in this little town to this day, of really fine marble and of exquisite workmanship.
