Swamma of Mindafs, according to the Name of the cifculnja- 

 cent Country. 



Nador. NadoT, a confiderable Town of the G^tuUan Arabs, twenty- 



Miles to the S. oiSwamma, is built in the Sahara, upon a Chain 



Mons Ma- of Mountains, which we may take for the Mons Malethubahts

Lvs. £«. of Ttolemj. Below It is the River Su-felUm, which, after It 

 hath paiTed Gojeeda, is drunk up by the fandy Country, and be- 

 comes Rap.ng, as the Arabs term It, i.e. runs no further; a 

 Circumftance common to other Rivers in Barbary, and which 

 Exf.p.s.E. Strabo was long ago acquainted with. 



Go-jeeda. Go-jeeda, lituated upon the fame Ridge of Eminences with 



Nador, at the Diftance of fix Leagues to the E. by S. fhould be 



the Guagida of Sanfon, placed by him fifty three Miles to the 



S. of Warran, and eighty to the S. E. of Tlemfan : though 



This I am fpeaking of, lyeth more than a hundred Miles to the 



E. by S. οι Tlemfan, and nearly at the like Diftance to the S.E. 



voi.fp.iiT• of Warran. The Atlas GeographtM maketh the Guagida of 



Dapper and Sanfon to be the fame ; whereas the former, in 



being placed nine Miles to the Southward of the Mediterranean 



Sea, and almoft as much to the Weftward οϊ Tlemfan, (though

another Heap of Ruins.
