wholefomenefs of the CHmate. The Country indeed vvhich^''•'"^"'""• 

 lyeth behind This Gulph, is low and marfliy in feveral Places; 

 yet I could not learn that the Air was remarkable for any ill 

 Temperature. Herhla too^ at half a Miles Diftance, is almoft 

 furrounded with Water : which however might have always 

 been drained oif, together with the fuperfluous Moifture of the 

 adjacent Plains, provided They were attended with any noxious 

 Vapours. The Channel taken Notice of betwixt This Place and 

 Sel-loome, appears to have been a Contrivance of This Nature; 

 though perhaps without anyA^iew to theUfe juft now fuggefted. 

 Bochart , from the remarkable Fertility of This Province, 

 maketh Adruma ox Adrumetum (the Metropolis of It) to de- 

 note a City of a hundred or of hundred Folds. But if we were 

 fure that Adriima, without any farther Latin or Greek Termi- 

 nation, was the old Tunic Name ; and that it was an appellative 

 and not indebted, like the Afiatic Adramyttium, to a Founder 

 of the fame Name, we might from the Situation, prefume to 

 term It [f^ansn] The City of (or furrounded with) Water. 



Sufa, the next remarkable Place upon the Coaft, is fituated Suf». 

 about five Leagues to the S. E. of Herhla. It is the chief Mart 

 of This Kingdom for Oyl, hath a flouriiliing Trade inLinnens, 

 and may be reckoned one of the moil conliderable Cities of the 

 Tunifeens. Here are feveral Vaults, Granite Pillars, and other 

 Tokens of It's having been formerly a Place of fome Repute : 

 probably one of thofe Towns ' which fubmitted to Ccefar in His 

 March to Rufpina.
