ry of it; whilft Mauritania' remained a Roman Province: fo 

 that no Alteration appears to have been made hitherto in this 

 Boundary. Afterwards Aupifttis gave Juha^ Mauritania in 

 Exchange for his Father s Kingdom^ as Dion obferves^ or as 

 an Addition to it, according to Straho \ with whom THnj/ * and 

 Solinns' feem to agree. During this Reign, whilft the two King- 

 doms were under one Prince, or perhaps fooner, the Kumidian 

 Tribes might cohabit and intermarry with the Mauritanians ; 

 whilft feveral of the Mauritanian Families might fettle in Nu- 

 midia. Numidia therefore, or the Kingdom of the Maffkfyli 

 in particular, might, by an Alliance in Intereft with the Moors 

 under the Government of the Romans and their Friends, and 

 from a continued Removal and Difperfion of its old Inhabitants, 

 almoft from the Time of the elder Juha^ infenfibly lofe its old 

 Name, and thereby make way for the New Title of Mauri- 

 tania that fucceeded it. Accordingly we are told, that upon 

 the lnfurre6tion which happened amongft the Moors foon af- 

 ter the Death of Ttoleiny, Claudius\ having reduced Them, di- 

 vided Mauritania into two Provinces ; mz. into the Tingita- 

 na, fo named from Tingi the principal City of the old Mauri- 

 tania', and the Ccefarienfis^ fo named from lol Cajarea the Ca- 

 pital City of the Majfcefyli. At this Time therefore, the two 

 Countrys had obtained the one common Name oi Mauritania', 

 but the Provinces being diftinguiftied by the Names of the Prin- 

 cipal Cities of the old Kingdoms, it is reafonable to believe, 

 they were likewife divided by the antient Boundaries of the 

 fame. So that the fame Limits, which formerly fublifted be- 

 twixt the Moors and Numidians under Bocchar and Sjphax, 

 Bocchtis and Jugurtha &c. did probably continue betwixt the 

 Mauritania Tingitana and Cajarienfis.
