only Circumftance, which favours Their Opinion. Otherwife, 

 there are not the leaft Traces to be met with of any fuch Haven, 

 as C^farea is reported to have had; neither have we here the 

 Footfteps of thofe mafly Walls and capacious Ciiterns, which 

 are common to other Roman Stations, vaftly inferiour to what 

 C^efarea muft have been, for Extent and Magnificence. How- 

 ever, if any of Ttolemy\ Cities had This Situation, Carcome 

 may plead the greateft Right to It, as following C^r/e';?;/^ and 

 Carepula in the Order of His Tables. 



A little Way from Tfiifs^ there is a high rocky Mountain, N'ackos, or 

 that ilretches out a great Way into the Sea. It is called by μ'οντοκΪ- 

 our Modern Geographers Cape Tennes, but by the Moors [ L>^y'^> linisUxc. 

 Nackos, or Nakoufe^ The Bell, from the Figure of the(?ro//(?,'^"'' 

 formed in the lower Part of It. This is one of the moil remark- 

 able Promontories of This Country, and, in advancing towards 

 It from the Coaft of 8γαΊη, appears (in the Mariners Stile) like 

 the Head of a Wild-Boar. By the Order of Ttolemy% Tables, 

 and by If s Diftance of \\\.o, only ix^mAr fen aria, Nakkos may 

 be well taken for the Tromontor'mm Apoll'inis of the Antients. 



Four Leagues from This Cape to the Eaftward, are the Beni^^^^^ Hcad- 

 Head-jah \ and at the like Diilance from Them, are the Vajlj- ^Beni How- 

 hras of the Befit How ah, two powerful Tribes of Africans. The 

 coafting Brigantines find Shelter under the Covert of a few 

 lilands, ranged along This Part of the Coaft : one of which, be- 

 longing to the Bern Howah, is not inferiour, in Circuit, to the 

 T'lgeon IJland. The Jutting out of the Mountain, over againft 

 It, is diftinguiflied, very conveniently for Mariners, by a Watch- 

 Tower. 



Two Leagues to the Eaftward of the Beni Howah, we falloah-mufs, 

 in with a fmall Creek, and fome Ruins, which formerly might Germano- 

 have belonged to the Caβra Germanorum. Thefe are called Dah-^^.'-^y''^' 

 mufs, [ L>-*^^ J which, in This Language, fignifieth a dark Place 

 or Cavern; a Name probably taken from fome of the antient 

 Cifterns now buried under Them. 



t Two Leagues farther, near the Bottom of the fame Bay, Bresk or, 

 we have the Ruins of Bresk, another Roman Station, of a larger Εχί'Ι'ϊί/Γρ. 

 Extent than Dah-mufs. The Andalufian Moors had the lafte!*'^' ^"'^* 

 PofleiTion of It ; but the inconvenient Situation of It among the 

 Gory ah, Larhatt, Beni Tifrah, and other troublefome Kahyles, is 

 the Caufe, that for fome Years, Bresk hath been left without
