What title is that that I see? - The king’s attention probably, had been arrested by a tombstone more conspicuous than the rest around it, bearing on an inscription the name of him that lay beneath; and this prompted his curiosity to make the inquiry.

the men of the city - not the Assyrian colonists - for they could know nothing about the ancient transactions of the place - but some of the old people who had been allowed to remain, and perhaps the tomb itself might not then have been discoverable, through the effects of time and neglect, had not some “Old Mortality” garnished the sepulcher of the righteous.
