 The Limits of ^gaihcmer, Straho and others fix the Beginning of the Leffer 

 syms''^ £xr. Syrtis at thefe lilands, though, from the following Circumftan- 

 B.' p^i/c ■ ces. It may be fuppofed to extend as far as Ca-poudia\ fince 

 from This Cape, all along to the liland of Jerba, we have a 

 Succeflion of little flat Iflands, Banks of Sand, oozy Bottoms 

 or fmall Depths of Water. The Inhabitants make no fmall Ad- 

 vantage of thefe Shallows, by wading a Mile or two from the 

 Shore^ and fixing, as They go along, in various Windings and 

 Diredlions, feveral Hurdles of Reeds, frequently enclofe a great 

 Number of Fiihes. Something like This hath been taken No- 

 tice of by Straho^.

sfax. Sfax, Asfax, or ΈΙ Sfahufs, is a neat thriving City ten Miles 



to the S. S.W. oilnpj'tlL•, and about twenty to the S.W. of the 

 ^erkynefs. It is walled round like Sufa and Monafleer : where 

 likewife, by the fame extraordinary Indulgence of their Kaide, 

 the Inhabitants enjoy the Fruits oJF their Indufl:ry, carry on a 

 good Trade in Oyl and Linnen-Manufaolures, and know little 

 of that Oppreflion, which is feverely practiced in moft other 

 Places of Barbary. Buno^ maketh Sfax to be the Taphne of 

 Cluver ; but It is more probably of modern Extradlion, taking 

 It's Name from the Quantity of [«^y» Fakoufe'] Cucumbers, 

 that grow in the Neighbourhood.
