This Place feems to have received It's prefent Name from the Caffarcen, or 

 Maujolea, which, at a Diftance, have the Appearance of fo many 

 [^t'^' Cajfareen] Towers or Fortrefles. I could not make out, 

 in the Infcription over the Triumphal Arch, the firft Letters in 

 the Word after Colonice, upon which the anticnt Name dependeth. 

 But TadreXtmenes, the S-paniJJjyidmtniftrador at Tunis ;v^2iS more 

 fuccefsful in viliting thefe Ruins : for by drawing up His Interpre- 

 ter as high as the Prize, He found It to be Scillitance : the fame 

 Place probably that is fo memorable for the Martyrdom' fuffer- 

 ed by It's Citizens. 



Gilma, the 2iniiQntCilnia, or Oppidum Chilmanenfe, is lixGiima, The 

 Leagues to the E. S. E. of Spaitla. We have here the Remains ExT-p'^.iG.D, 

 of a large City, with the ^rea of a Temple, and fome other ^■"■^" 

 Fragments of large Buildings. According to a Tradition of the 

 ^rahs, this Place received It's Name in Confequence of a Mi- 

 racle, pretended to have been wrought by one of Their Mar ah- 

 butts, in bringing hither the River o^ Spaitla, after It was 

 loft under Ground, as hath been before taken Notice of. For 

 Ja Elma [>-^^^ ^~\ fignifieth in their Language The Water comes \ 

 an Expreffion, we are to imagine, of Surprife, at the Arrival 

 of the Stream. 



Menzil and Menzil Heire are two little Villages fix Miles to Menzii, ne
