 Mountains betwixt Mazouna, and the Bent Zerwall\ They wej'ied 

 alfo drink of the Tagia and Warijfa ; and fometimes cultivate 

 the plain Country along the Southern Banks of the Shelliff] I

 being fituated a little to the Northward of the Sources of the 

 Mina, is lixty Miles to the S. E. hy E. oiWarran, and ninety

 Care, as ufual, to leave us feveral Marks of Their own Humility 

 and Ignorance in Architecture, and to pull down and deface, 

 whatever was beautiful and magnificent, in the Buildings of Their 

 Predeceflbrs. If This Ihould be the Tignident of Mar mo I, (and 

 there is no other Place, as far as I could be informed, of the
