ty-five geographic miles from Paraetonium ; and from Cyrene 
three hundred and forty. — But Ptolemy's fcale, in Africa Tab. 
III. gives too mxuch diftance (as I have faid before), and correfted, 
it fliould be one hundred and fixty-fix from Par^Etonium. As 
thefe authorities do not vary amongft themfelves more than
