ad aquilonem, in monte sita.” (Relatio de Peregrinatione Sewulfi, in the Receuil des Voyages et de Mémoires, publié par la Société de Géographie, tom. iv., p. 851. Paris: 1839. 4to.) The passage is translated by Mr. Wright: "Six miles to the north-east of Nazareth, on a hill, is Cana of Galilee, where our Lord converted water into wine." Sawulf's mile is, of course, the Roman mile of 1614 yards; and his assertion that Cana is six Roman miles from Nazareth is probably as near a guess at truth as any traveller, judging distance by the time consumed in riding, has ever yet made. The addition that it lies north-east completes the identification with Kefr Kenna. If all the church traditions had been lost, and not a stone were left on the spot to prove its antiquity, a geographer, with Sewulf's words before him, would have laid down Cana on a map in the exact position which it has always occupied. sex How then came Robinson to revive this singular mistake? Simply by an error of translation. Sæwulf says that Cana stands six miles north-east of Nazareth miliariis ad aquilonem; Robinson translated the word north. In middle age Latin, this word "aquilo" was used to designate the north-east wind. (See Wright's Vocabularies, p. 36.) Even if the word had meant "north," as in classical Latin, it would not have helped Sanudo's theory; for the position six Roman miles north of Nazareth was covered by the great Greek city of Sephoris. The false Kânâ is eleven miles north of Nazareth. (Biblical Researches, III. 207.) It is scarcely necessary to add, that so long as Galilee remained open to pilgrims, no doubt ever sprang up as to the true site of Cana. A little later than Sawulf, Phocas made a journey from Ptolemais to Nazareth, the route of which lay from Ptolemais to Sephoris, from Sephoris to Cana, from Cana to Nazareth; an impossible order of travel if Cana had been situated at the present Khurbet Kânâ, since Phocas would, in that case, have come first to Khurbet Kânâ, then to Sephoris, and afterwards to Nazareth; a positive proof that the true Cana of Galilee was not in his day confounded with the false. In 1322 Mandeville described the situation of Cana very correctly:- "Cana of Galilee is four miles from Nazareth; there our Lord performed the first miracle at the wedding, when he turned the water into wine." (Early Travels in Palestine, 184.) Mandeville seems to have used the old English mile; and his rough measurement comes very near the truth. (De Morgan, On the Mile, Eng. Cyc.) The mistake of site appeared for the first time in Marino Sanudo. That compiler stated that the proper way from Ptolemais to Nazareth was by way of Cana and Sephoris; reversing the position assigned to Cana by Phocas two centuries earlier. Sanudo unquestionably supposed that the village now called Khurbet Kânâ was the Cana of St. John, for he described it as standing two leagues north of Sephoris, just as he describes Sephoris as being two leagues north of Nazareth. (Liber Secretorum, 253.) This blunder turned up now and then until the Holy Land was re-opened to travellers, when Quaresmius, by his local knowledge and by his citations from Bonaventura and Bonifacius, was able to put the mistake to rest.
