88 Geographical Ohfervations npon the Sea-Coafi 



The M}dia„d In the Midland Parts, from the Mountains of Wannotigah to 

 1^1 ^"^ Seteef and Οοηβαηήηα , and from thence quite through the 

 Diftridls of the JVelled Braham, G'lrfah, and Henneifjah, there 

 is a great Variety of hilly and champain Ground ; though Foun- 

 tains and Rivers, efpecially to the Weftward of Οοηβαηύηα^ 

 are not fo commonly met with, as in the Southern Province. 

 Th^Mountam Thc Mountain of ^ilas may probably be taken for that 

 of Atlas. \{γφ Knot of Eminences which diftinguiih Themfelves to the 

 Southward of the Plains of the Sudratah. They are continued 

 by thofe of the Beni Bootaleh, Welled Ahdy-nore and H'ircaat\ 

 and taking in afterwards J'thhel Aurej's , and the mountainous 

 Traol of the Nemempja , leave this Province a little to the 

 Southward of Teba'ifa. But the general Defcription of This 

 Province, will be farther carried on in the next Chapter. 

 Deiiyv The The RIVER Booherak , the weftern Limit of this Pro- 

 ^w^^"^^' vince, hath been already defcribed i after which we have, at 

 SrJ^'Vo"^ Leagues Diftance, upon the Sea Coaft, the Town of Dell/Sy 

 A. Rusuc- Qj« Teddeles according to Leo ' and fome Sea Charts, built out 

 p'eu^B '^"'^' ^^ ^^ Ruins of a large City, at the Foot of a high Moun- 

 tain, that looks towards the N. E. The antient City, which 

 appears to have been as large as that at Temendfufe, fpreads 

 Itfelf quite over the N. E. Side of This Mountain ; upon whofe 

 Summit to the Weftward, there is a great Part of the old 

 Wall, befides other Ruins, promifing, at a Diftance, a large 

 Scene of Antiquities. In aWalljuftover the Harbour, we 

 have a fmall Nitch, wdth an Image placed in It, in the Attitude 

 of 2iMadona\ but the Features and Drapery are defaced. 

 The Road he- Thc Road before This Place, beildes the Inconvenience of 

 fore it. being fmall, lyeth alfo expofed to the N. E. Winds ; though, 

 under the SE. Shore, there are fome Traces of a broad Wall_, 

 which formerly perhaps might ftretch out into the Sea, and 

 form a Cothon. OellySj from lying twelve Leagues to the E. of 

 Temendfufe or Rufgunia, will be the Rufucurium of the An- 

 tients, a noted and confiderable City in former Time, as we 

 may colleft, not only from the prefent Remains of It, but from 

 It's having the Courfe of feveral Roads direoled to It in the 

 Itinerary. I could meet with no Tokens of that Plenty of 

 Water which Leo afcribeth to this Place; the Inhabitants, 

 when I was there, complaining much for the Want of It. 



1 Teddeles oppidum muris antiquiiEmis atque munitiffimis cinftum eft : bona pars clvlum 

 panni timitores lunt, idquc propter fluviorum atquc fontium frequentiam,qui per hujus medi- 

 um praetertluunt. J. Leo. p. 204.
