upon the Sea-Coaft of the Summer Circuit. 1 6" i 



Leaving Gurba five Leagues to the N. E. we come to Nahnl, Nabai , The 

 a very thriving and induilrious Town, which hath been ions; fa- exc p.i^.D. 

 mous for It's Potteries. It is built, in a low Situation, at a Mile's 

 Diftance from the Sea Shore, and about a Furlong to theWeft ward 

 of the ^inUQwtNeapolis, which appears to have been a large Citv, 

 without taking in what is fuppofed to have been gained by the Sea. 

 Here are a great Number of Infcriptions upon Stones of fix 

 Foot in Length and three in Breadth; but They are either 

 fo unfortunately defaced, or filled up with Rubbifli and Mortar, 

 that It required more Time, than my Guides would allow me^ 

 to copy Them. On the Banks of the little Brook that runs 

 through the old City, we have a Block of white Marble, with a 

 Wolf, curiouily reprefented in Baffo Relie-vo^ upon It. 



Travelling, for the Space of two Leagues, through a rugged Hamam-et, 

 Road, delightfully fhaded with Olive Trees, we arrive at Ha- 

 mam-et, which hath been miftaken by feveral Authors for the 

 fo much difputed Adriimetum. It is a fmall but opulent City, 

 compaftly built upon a low Promontory, which an Enemy, 

 efpecially by Land, would find great Difficulty to attack. But as 

 ThisCircumftance ' will better agree withi/ercHrtfjplaced at fome 

 Diftance from It to the Eaftward, fo there are other Circum- 

 ftances relating to ^dru7netum , which will by no Means an- 

 fwer to This Place. For Hamam-et is built fo clofe to the Sea, SmmTtum! 

 and hath to the Land\^'ard fo rugged a Situation, that there 

 would be, (This Way particularly,) the utmoft Danger and Diffi- 

 culty to approach It ; much more to be carried round about It, as 

 Cicfar is faid to have been \ Neither have we a View, either 

 from This City or the Road before It, of the Coaft oiCljhea ' : 

 all which Circumftances agree with the Situation of HercUa. 

 The Author likcwife oith^ Itinerary placeth Adrumetum, not 

 only ccccxL Furlongs n'om Neapolis% but lxxxv R, Miles, 

 (i. e. at the fame Diftance with Cfypea,) from Carthage. Now, 

 provided Adriimetum, is to be fixed at Hamam-et, Neapolis 

 will be fituated l Miles too near It in the one Cafe ; as Car- 

 thage will be XXX, (i.e. more than one Third of the given 

 Diftance,) in the other. Hamam-et therefore may be ra- 

 ther the Siagul of Ttolemy, which was probably one of thofe
