To read what Benjamin wrote about Tyre, go to pp. 18-19 of this text (find the large page numbers at the tops of the pages). Then look in the side margins for p. 30 and p. 31.

This book is quite interesting to examine, as he wrote what he observed during his travels. Right inside the front cover, before the title page and table of contents, is an ancient map dating back to the time of the writing of this book.
