dc.descriptionSlide 57: one of a collection of lantern slides shown at Clondalkin branch library c 1910. Description given in booklet: Sabastia, Samaria, the capital, of the ten tribes down to the captivity! The site was well chosen. The city had the steep isolated hill as a seat, it had a deep valley around it as a trench, and the environing mountains were to it an outer rampart of defence. Its beauty was equal to its strength, for few things could be finer than its romantic engirdlement of hills and valleys. Even to this day the enormous girth of the olive trees, the luxuriance of the vines and figs, the rankness of the grass, and the brilliant tint of the wild flowers, justifies the epithet which the Bible applies to this part of the territory of Ephraim – ‘The fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine.’ A tradition, more than doubtful, makes one of the crypts of the beautiful church of St John the scene of the martyrdom of the Baptist, but the ruins are well worth a visit on their own account.en_IE
