earthen vessels {Keley yotzair}, literally, `vessels of the potter.' So when Dr. Perry visited the temple of Luxor in Egypt, he says, `We were entertained by the Caliph here with great civility and favour; he sent us, in return of our presents, several sheep, a good quantity of eggs, bardacks,' etc. The {bardacks} he informs us, were earthen vessels, us `to cool and refresh their water in, by means of which it drinks very cool and pleasant in the hottest seasons of the year.'

wheat Mr. Jones says, `Travellers use {zumeet, tumeet, and limerceece.} Zumeet is flour mixed with honey, butter, and spice; tumeet is flour done up with organ oil: and limereece is flour mixed with water, for drink. This quenches thirst much better than water alone, satisfies a hungry appetite; cools and refreshes tired and weary spirits,' etc.
