Note 140 — LETTER XXXIII.
Reading edition
This view is already to be found in the Itinerarium of Antoninus, who finds the convent between Sinai and Horeb. The present monkish tradition that the rock on the plain of Râha is Horeb is already known. The arbitrariness of such views are self-evident. Yet the latter opinion is taken up by Gesenius, (Thesaur. p. 517), Wiener, and others.
