88 Geographical Ohfervations upon the Sea-Coafi 



Tki Midland In the Midland Parts, from the Mountains oi JVarmougah to 

 p^^rijf m« Seteef 2.nd. Conflantina , and from thence quite through the 

 'Dii\.v\GtsoithQlVelled Braham, Girfah, zr\6.HenneiJJjah, there 

 is a great Variety of hilly and champain Ground ; though Foun- 

 tains and Rivers, efpecially to the Weftward of Conftantina^ 

 are not fo commonly met with, as in the Southern Province. 

 neMountams The Moutttain oi y4tlas may probably be taken for that 

 «./A:ias. \{y^ Kuot of Eminenccs which diftinguifh Themfelves to the 

 Southward of the Plains of the Sudratah. They are continued 

 by thofe of the Bent Bootaleb, Welled Ahdy-nore and Hircaat\ 

 and taking in afterwards Jihhel Aurefs , and the mountainous 

 Tra6l of the Nemem/Jja , leave this Province a little to the 

 Southward of Tehaifa. But the general Defcription of This 

 Province, will be farther carried on in the next Chapter. 

 DeUy'i The The RIVER Booherak , the weftern Limit of this Pro- 

 RuscuRi- yii^ce, hath been already defcribed ; after which we have, at 

 ?or5"' lo" ^ Leagues Diftance, upon the Sea Coaft, the Town of T>eliys, 

 A. Rusuc- Qj. Xeddeles according to Leo ' and fome Sea Charts , built out 

 feufi '^'''' °^ ^^ Ruins of a large City, at the Foot of a high Moun- 

 tain, that looks towards the N. E. The antient City, which 

 appears to have been as large as that at Temendfufe, Ipreads 

 Itfelf quite over the N. E. Side of This Mountain ; upon whofe 

 Summit to the Weftward, there is a great Part of the old 

 Wall, belides other Ruins, promifnig, at a Diftance, a large 

 Scene of Antiquities. In a Wall juft over the Harbour, we 

 have a fmall Nitch, with an Image placed in It, in the Attitude 

 of 2iMadona\ but the Features and Drapery are defaced. 

 The Roadie- Thc Road before This Place, befides the Inconvenience of 

 ^'^ ^'- being fmall, lyeth alfo expofed to the N. E. Winds ; though, 

 under the S- E. Shore, there are fome Traces of a broad Wall^ 

 which formerly perhaps might ftretch out into the Sea, and 

 form a Cothon. VellySy from lying twelve Leagues to the E. of 

 Temendfufe or Rufgunia, will be the Rufucur'mm of the An- 

 tients, a noted and conliderable City in former Time, as we 

 may colle61:, not only from the prefent Remains of It, but from 

 It's having the Courfe of feveral Roads diredled to It in the 

 Itinerary. I could meet with no Tokens of that Plenty of 

 Water which Leo afcribeth to this Place; the Inhabitants, 

 when I was there, complaining much for the Want of It. 



I Teddeles oppldum muris antiquiffimis atque munitiffimis cindum eft : bona pars civium 

 panni tindores funt, idque propter fluviorum atque fontium frequcntiarojqui per hujus medi- 

 um prsterfluunt. J. Leo. p. 204.
