Country Seat o^ Harinihal, from whence He is faid to have em- 

 barked after his Flight from Carthage. 



t Elalia, a large Extent of Ruins, is fituated upon the Bor- Eiaiia, ue 

 ders of a fertil Plain, which reacheth from Sale&o, to within ex "pI'i^.E. 

 a few Miles of Sbe-ah. Beiides fuch Ruins as It hath in com- l^'.TakpL'u 

 mon with other Places, we have here feveral Cifterns, with^^' 

 large ^reas to receive the Rain Water. But Thefe, from the 

 Workmanfliip and Contrivance, may be fufpeded to have been 

 built lince the Invahons of the Saracens. Elalia feems to be 

 the Achola or Acilla of the Antients, which Ttolemy hath fix- 

 ed in this Situation, or betwixt Thapfus and Rufpce. In Teu- 

 t'mgefs Tables likewife we fee Anolla, (corruptly no doubt for 

 Achola) placed to the Southward of Sulle6li and fix Miles to 

 the N. of Rufp^. Now as Sbe-ah, from the Name and Situa- ^^^-^K ^^ 

 tion, appears to be the antient Rufpcey Achola, by lying at fix^*^- ph-E- 

 Milcs Diftance to the Northward of It, may with the greateft aa- 

 Exadnefs be fixed at this Place. The Ruins of Sbe-ah reach asshebbah. 

 far as Shebbah, where there are at prefent a few miferable Cot- 

 tages and Inhabitants. 



A little farther is Ca-pondia, the Caput Kada of Trocopius, Ca-poudia, 

 the Ammon'is Tromontorium of Strabo, and the Tromontor'mm^ ^^f^- am- 

 Brachodes of Ttolemj. It is a low narrow Strip of Land, which Prom. exc. 

 ftretcheth Itfelf a great Way into the Sea : and upon the Point c'hodes'^''' 

 of It, there is a high Watch Tower, with the Traces of feveral p'iTe-^'"' 

 Ruins, that might formerly belong to the City built here by 

 Jn III fit an '. 



Pafilng by Meloimuflj, a fmall Village three Leagues to the Meioununi. 

 S. W. ot Ca-pondia, and Butt-rah, a demolifhed Fort a little Butt-rah. 

 farther to the S. S. W. we continue to travel near three Leagues 

 in the fame Diredion and arrive at Injhilla. This is the Uftlla la^ma, The 

 of the Antients, where we have a fmall Bay with a Heap of^^pij-E' 

 Ruins hard by It; and upon the adjacent Promontory, there K/! b'b." ° 

 is a watch Tower, like that at Ca-poiidia. There is likewife an- 

 other Building of the fame Kind a little to the Northward of 

 Sfax\ All of them very proper Guides to the Mariner in ap- 

 proaching this dangerous Coaft. 



The two flat and contiguous Iflands of the ^Ijierhynefs zreT^e ip»js
