8 Of the Kingdom 



The Great ^γοΜ the Ιαγτεπ \ Befides ; as this Chain of Mountains runs for 

 BouZary!' thc πιοίΐ Part Eaft and Weft, and confequently bounded the 

 Profpee::, as well as the Agriculture of the Mauritan'ians and 

 Kumidians to the South; we have Room for another Conje- 

 olure, in deducing the Name from their Afpeot and Situation : 

 Dohor [ yi^ ] ftill fignifying amongft the Moors and Arabians, 

 the Place or Afpedt of the Sun at Noon-Day ; as the T>erom 

 {^rz^-^^ or D'-n] of the Hehrews, was a Word of the hke Import'. 

 If then we choofe to call it Adderim with Sol'mus and Mar- 

 t'lanm ; and not fimply Dyrim with Straho and Tliny : Had- 

 derim, by fupplying [^o-c^'] Had, will fignify either the Great, or 

 elfe the Southern Eminence, Limit, or Boundary, fuch as Mount 

 Atlas generally is wdth refped: to the Maur'itaniie and Num'i- 

 d'la, or betwixt the Tell and the Sahara. We may poiTibly have 

 fome Rudiments, or Traces of this Name continued down to us, 

 in the TL>ra elHammar, T)ra el Attafj, T>ra el Maintenan, and 

 J'lhhel Deer a, that are placed in the Neighbourhood, or make 

 a Part of thefe Mountains ; though the feveral Portions and 

 Diftritts of them at prefent, are chiefly known and diftinguiih- 

 ed by the particular Names of the Kahyles [ J^i^i»] or African 

 Families, who refpedlively poflefs them. 

 Gstuiia a Gietulia, 2l Part of Ttolemys Inner Lihya^ is laid down in 

 sahm/ ^ very indefinite Terms by the Antients; though by comparing 

 their feveral Accounts and Defcriptions, we ihall find the Nor- 

 thern Limits thereof contiguous to, and frequently coinciding 

 with the Southern Limits '^ of the Mauritanite and Numidia. 

 The Villages therefore οι Zaah, the antient Zebe, with others 

 that are fituated near the Parallel of the River Adge-dee, will 

 belong to Gatulia properly fo called: as the Ben'i-Mezzahy 

 and the Inhabitants of Wadreag and Wurglah, with their re- 

 fpedtive Bedoween Arabs, may be the Succeflburs of the an- 

 tient Melanogietuli, and perhaps of fome other Libyans, v^ho were 

 in a nearer Situation to the River Niger, and the Ethiopians.
