      Only one entry that I've found actually names them: Universal Spectator and Weekly Journal (London, England), Saturday, August 22, 1730; Issue XCVIII. This calls them 'Joseph Abaisci and John Hanner'.

      It also gives the fullest account of their travels: 'Hull, Beverley, Scarborough, Malton, Thirsk, Durham, Newcastle, Richmond, Northallerton, and York' before reaching Leeds, from where the US&WJ's correspondent was writing (11 Aug 1730).

      They were Maronites, and were travelling with the permission—'a Pass under the Sign Manual'_ and assistance of the king (at that time George II):pic.twitter.com/baFbwrR3Qy

      They were fundraising after some form of invasion of Mt Lebanon by the neighbouring Ottoman pashas ('Bassa's')—at Leeds the town Corporation gifted them twenty guineas and sent them on their way to Pontefract.

      No doubt the same 'two Syrian Princes just arrived by Way of Holland' for whose entertainment 'the last new Tragedy, call'd, The Rival Father, or The Death of Achilles' was performed at the New Theatre in Haymarket in April 1730.

      And then in Canterbury, Dover, Portsmouth, and Pool [sic] in October/early November. (Various sources.)

      Thanks to this, have now got a record of their presence in Penzance, Cornwall, where the 'prince' is named as 'the Prince of Chesroan Abu Gemblat Hassar Abaisci, of Mount Libanus, in Syria'. Also looks like went to Norway in 1732?

          Chesroan is Kisrawan, a district of Mt Lebanon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keserwan_District … Gemblat surely is Jumblatt, but that's more than a little confusing: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Fi_CThWrKCAC&pg=PA219&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false … Hassar looks like a typo/misunderstanding of Hassan to me. Don't know what's going on with Abaisci.

          Interesting! Looking around, it appears he also travelled to Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden; on the continent, Hassar is transcribed 'Zessar' and 'Nessar'. There also seems to be an 'Asiatic' Prince Elias Abaisci in Europe in 1766, fwiw...

          I also picked up a reference to someone arriving in Geneva in 1728—not unreasonable to think it might be the same party, given how long they evidently spent in one country (England).
