The traditional site is about fifty ya.rda beyond the bridge that spans the Ki- dron, and here,• withane a walled enclo- sure, eight very ancient olive teces are still to be fotind. It is not to be sup- posed, however, that these trees can date from the time of Jeses, which air, would matte them almost two thousand years old.
