Of the Eafiern Province. 12^ 



The Girfahy the Neighbours of the Ly-aijhah ^ have theCirfah. 

 Bent SalaJj to the Eaft, and the Grarah and Hamzah to the 

 Northward. They are a numerous Tribe, the SuccefTors per- 

 haps of the antient Ze-nati ; fpreading Their "Domvars from 

 the Banks of the Rivers Sei-houfe, Sehba Aioune and Ze-natl^ to 

 Thofe of the ^er^and Alleegah. The River Ze-nati might pro- 

 bably have been named from Their fuppofed Predecellbrs. All 

 This Country is a fruitful Interchange of Hills and Valleys ; 

 and fome Parts of It, efpecially Thofe that are mountainous, 

 are interfperfed with feveral Forrefts and Plantations of Olive 

 Trees. 



Upon an Eminence, two Leagues to the S. W. by W. of the Anounab. 

 Hammam Meskouteen, under the Shade of oneof thefe Planta- 

 tions, there is a large Extent of Ruins, called at prefent ^nounah, 

 where we have a fmall fquare Building nearly entire, which by 

 the Figure of a Crofs + ftill remaining upon the Door Cafe, we 

 may conclude to have been fome Chappel of the Chrijiians. 

 Among the Ruins is the following Infcription. 



Alleegah, another City in Ruins, lyeth feven Leagues to the AiieegaB. 

 W.N. W. qI yinounah, and five to the Eaftward oiConflan- 

 t'lna. It is fituated in a Plain, upon the weftern Banks of a 

 River of the fame Name. Seni-ore, another Heap of Ruins, sem-ore. 

 lyeth ten Miles to the Southward of AnounaJj^ not far from 

 the River Serff'. There is a large Tower at This Place, befides a 

 Fountain of excellent Water, and good Pafturage; but the 

 Forrefts, all about It, are fo frequented with wild Beafts, that 

 the Girfah very rarely fit down in the Neighbourhood of It. 



T^hQ Welled Braham, joyn the weftern Encampments of the^^jj^^g^^^, 

 Girfah, and extend Themfelves as far as Conftantina. Their '^»'"- 

 Diftridl is not fo much incumbered with Forrefts as the Former, 

 and might have been formerly the eaftern Part of the Regio 

 Cirtefwrum. The weftern Parts, near Tattuht, fidmeelah &c,
