ry of it; whilft Mauritania' remained a Roman Province: fo 

 that no Alteration appears to have been made hitherto in this 

 Boundary. Afterwards Auguflm gave Juba- Mauritania in 

 Exchange for his Father's Kingdom^ as Ί>ιοη obferves, or as 

 an Addition to it, according to Siraho\ with whom Tlin)!^ and 

 Solinus' feem to agree. During this Reign, whilft the two King- 

 doms were under one Prince, or perhaps fooner, the Numidian 

 Tribes might cohabit and intermarry with the Mauritanians ; 

 whilft feveral of the Mauritanian Families might fettle in Nu- 

 midia. Numidia therefore, or the Kingdom of the Majfafyli 

 in particular, might, by an Alliance in Intereft with the Moors 

 \inder the Government of the Romans and their Friends, and 

 from a continued Removal and Difperllon of its old Inhabitants, 

 almoft from the Time of the elder y^/^^, infenfibly lofe its old 

 Name, and thereby make way for the New Title of Mauri- 

 tania that fucceeded it. Accordingly we are told, that upon 

 the Infurredtion which happen'd amongft the Moors foon af- 

 ter the Death of Ttokmy, Claudius', having reduced Them, di- 

 vided Mauritania into two Provinces ; mz. into the Tingita- 

 na, fo named from Tin^i the principal City of the old Mauri- 

 tania'^ and the Ccefarienfis, fo named from lol Cafarea the Ca- 

 pital City of the Majftefyli. At this Time therefore, the two 

 Countrys had obtained the one common l<^^me of Mauritania; 

 but the Provinces being diftinguiihed by the Names of the Prin- 

 cipal Cities of the old Kingdoms, it is reafonable to believe, 

 they were likewife divided by the antient Boundaries of the 

 fame. So that the fame Limits, which formerly fubfifted be- 

 twixt the Moors and Numidians under Bocchar and Syphax, 

 Bocchus and Jugurtha &c. did probably continue betwixt the 

 Mauritania Tingitana and Cajartenfis.
