built a fmall Fort upon It, as ^Checku^onthe Zi^owab, which 

 They were in a little Time obliged to abandon. 

 Beni Groh- To the Eaftward of the Zwowah, below the Kefeelah, are 

 Ait7Ammer. the Bcm Gvohberry ; and then the Aite-ammer ; after which 

 ^lS^iiah. we have the Beni Idel, Mezzaiah, and other Tribes already- 

 taken Notice of in the Defcription of Boujeiah. Among the 

 Beni Grohherry, to the Northward of Their Jihhel Afroone^ 

 Caffir. are the Ruins of a Roman City, called at prefent Caffir [the 

 Cajile'] by the Inhabitants : and upon the Mountain of the 

 Toujah, they often dig up large Pipes of Lead , fuppofed to 

 have been formerly employed in conveying Their excellent 

 Water to the Neighbouring Saldte. The Muconi might have 

 probably extended Their Dwellings thus far to the Eaft. 

 WeiiedMan- Croffing the Wed Ad-ouje or Zwowah, (which here run- 

 foure. jjetj^ parallel with the Sea Coaft) we meet with the IVelled 

 Manfoure, who, with Their "Dajhkras, lye immediately under

Belli Abbefs. the Shekh or Sultan of the Beni Ahhefs. Thefe are almoft as 

 powerful Kahyles as the Zwowah, bringing into the Field up- 

 wards of three thoufand Foot, and half the Number of Horfe- 

 men. They have likewife a great many T>ajhkras\ and at 



Caiiah. Callahy the Metropolis, They not only make exceeding good 

 Fire Arms, but carry on a confiderable Manufacture in Hykes 

 and Burnoofes. However the Bent yibhefs are not fuppofed to 

 have the Riches ; It is certain. They enjoy not the Quiet and 

 Tranquillity of the Zwowah ; who, from a more difficult Situa- 

 tion, have not, for many Years, beenmolefted by the ui^lgerines. 

 Whereas the Bent Ahhefs, lying direftly in the great Road to 

 Conflantina, are generally laid under Contributions ; and when- 

 ever They have had the Ralhnefs to revolt, have been fo fe- 

 verely chaftifed for their Breach of Faith, that They have 

 been always left in a worfe Capacity of making the like Attempt

The Beebani Amoug the Mountains of the Beni Abhefs, four Leagues to
