Of the Eaflern Province, 



I2J 



The Girfahy the Neighbours of the Ly-aifiah ^ have theCirfah. 

 Beni Salah to the Eaft, and the Grarah and Hamzah to the 

 Northward. They are a numerous Tribe, the SucceiTors per- 

 haps of the antient Ze-nati ; fpreading Their Doiiwars from 

 the Banks of the Rivers Sei-houfe, Sebba Aioune and Ze-nati, to 

 Thofe of the SerffzxA Alleegah. The River Ze-nati might pro- 

 bably have been named from Their fuppofed PredeceiTors. All 

 This Country is a fruitful Interchange of Hills and Valleys; 

 and fome Parts of It, efpecially Thofe that are mountainous, 

 are interfperfed with feveral Forreils and Plantations of Olive 

 Trees. 



Upon an Eminence, two Leagues to the S. W. by W. of the Anounah. 

 Hammam Meskouteen, under the Shade of one of thefe Planta- 

 tions, there is a large Extent of Ruins, called at prefent Anounah, 

 where we have a fmall fquare Building nearly entire, which by 

 the Figure of a Crofs 4- ftill remaining upon the Door Cafe, we 

 may conclude to have been fome Chappel of the Chriflians. 

 Among the Ruins is the following Infcription. 



Alleegah, another City in Ruins, lyeth feven Leagues to the AUeegah. 

 W.N. W. oi Anounah, and five to the Eaftward οϊ Conflan- 

 tina. It is fituated in a Plain, upon the weftern Banks of a 

 River of the fame Name. Seni-ore, another Heap of Ruins, seni-ore. 

 lyeth ten Miles to the Southward of Anounah, not far from 

 the River Serff'. There is a large- Tower at This Place, befides a 

 Fountain of excellent Water, and good Pafturage; but the 

 Forrefts, all about It, are fo frequented with wild Beafts, that 

 the Girfah very rarely fit down in the Neighbourhood of It. 



ThQfFelled Braham, joy η the weftern Encampments of the^^ji^^g^^^, 

 Girfah, and extend Themfelves as far as Conflantina. Their ^»•"• 

 Diftriol is not fo much incumbered with Forrefts as the Former, 

 and might have been formerly the eaftern Part of the Regio 

 Cirtefiorum. The weftern Parts, near Tattubt, Jidmeelah &c;
