Note 167 — THE CITY OF MANY-COLUMNED IRAM AND ABDULLAH SON OF ABI KILABAH.[165]
Richard Francis Burton translation
The full title of the Holy City is “Madinat al-Nabi” = the City of the Prophet; of old Yasrib (Yathrib) the Iatrippa of the Greeks (Pilgrimage, ii. 119). The reader will remember that there are two “Yasribs;” that of lesser note being near Hujr in the Yamámah-province.
