     * castles.
       The word {tiroth,} rendered "castles," is supposed by some to
       denote here "towers," fortified rocks, or mountain-tops, and
       fastnesses of various kinds in woods and hilly countries; but
       it rather means, "shepherds' cots," surrounded by sufficient
       enclosures to prevent the cattle from straying, as the cognate
       Syriac word {teyaro,} and Arabic {tawar,} signify "a
       sheep-fold."

     * twelve.
