Marco Polo Quotes
To the north of Armenia lies Zorzania Georgia, near the confines of which there is a fountain of oil which discharges so great a quantity as to furnish loading for many camels.

In the surrounding country no other oil is used in their lamps, and people come from distant parts to procure it.
