ceeding in a westerly direction, there are forests filled with 
wild beasts, peculiar to the soil of Africa, as far as the 
river Anatis\ a distance of 485 miles, Lixos being distant 
from it 205 miles. Agrippa says, that Lixos is distant from 
the Straits of Grades 112 miles. After it we come to a 
gulf which is called the Gulf of Saguti^, a town situate on 
the Promontory of Mulelacha^, the rivers Subur and Salat^, 
and the port of Eutubis^, distant from Lixos 213 miles 
"We then come to the Promontory of the Sun^, the port of 
Eisardir^, the Gr^tulian Autololes, the river Cosenus^, the 
nations of the Selatiti and the Masati, the river Masathat^, 
and the river Darat^^, in which crocodiles are found. After 
this we come to a large gulf, 616^^ miles in extent, which is 
enclosed by a promontory of Mount Barce^^, which runs 
out in a westerly direction, and is called Surrentium^'. 
Next comes the river Salsus^^, beyond which lie the Ethio- 
pian Perorsi, at the back of whom are the Pharusii^^, who 
^ Supposed by some geographers to be the same as that now called 
the Ommirabih, or the Om-Rabya. This is also thought by some to have 
been the same river as is called by Pliny, in p. 381, by the name of 
Asana ; but the distances do not agree. 
2 Supposed by Q-ossehn to be the present bay of Al-cazar, on the 
African coast, in the Straits of Cadiz ; though Hardouin takes it to be 
the koXttos ^/xTroptKo?, or " Gulf of Commerce," of Strabo and Ptolemy. 
By first quoting from one, and then at a tangent from another, Pliny 
involves this subject in almost inextricable confusion. 
3 Probably the place called Thymiaterion in the Periplus of Hanno. 
^ The present Subu, and the river probably of Bailee, previously 
mentioned. 
* The modern Mazagan, according to Gosselin. 
^ Cape Can tin, according to Gosselin ; Cape Blanco, according to 
Marcus. 7 Probably the Safi, Asafi, or Safiee of the present day. 
3 The river Tensift, which runs close to the city of Morocco, in the 
interior. ^ The river Mogador of the present day. 
10 The modern river Sus, or Sous. 
11 The learned Gosselin has aptly remarked, that this cannot be other 
than an error, and that " ninety-six" is the correct reading, the Gulf of 
Sainte-Croix being evidently the one here referred to. 
12 Mount Barce seems to be here a name for the Atlas, or Daran chain. 
1^ Supposed by Gossehn to be the present Cape Ger. 
I'* The river Assa, according to Gosselin. There is also a river Suse 
placed here in the maps. 
1^ These two tribes probably dwelt between the modern Capes Gep 
and 'Non,
