Upon which Abu Obeidah entered into Antioch on Tuesday, being the twenty-first day of August, a. D. 638. * Hej. 17. A. D. 638.
240 HISTOBY OP THE SARACENS. Omar.
Thus did that ancient and famous city, the seat of so many kings and princes, fall into the hands of the infidels. The beauty of the site, and abundance of all things contributing to delight and luxury were so great, that Abu Obeidah, fearing his Saracens should be effeminated with the delicacies of that place, and remit their wonted v...igour and bravery, durst not let them continue there long. After a short halt of three days to refresh his men, he again marched out of it.
Then he wrote a letter to the caliph, in which he gave him an account of his great success in taking the metropolis of Syria, and of the flight of Heraclius to Constantinople ; telling him withal, what was the reason why he stayed no longer there, adding, that the Saracens were desirous of marrying the Grecian women, which he had forbidden. He was afraid, he said, lest the love of the things of this world should take possession of their hearts, and draw them off from their obedience to God.
