[Footnote 108: Jerusalem was possessed only of the torrent
of Kedron, dry in summer, and of the little spring or brook
of Siloe, (Reland, tom. i. p. 294, 300.) Both strangers and
natives complain of the want of water, which, in time of
war, was studiously aggravated. Within the city, Tacitus
mentions a perennial fountain, an aqueduct and cisterns for
rain water. The aqueduct was conveyed from the rivulet Tekos
or Etham, which is likewise mentioned by Bohadin, (in Vit.
Saludio p. 238.)]
