tte river Laud\ whicli is also navigable for vessels, tlie town 
and port of Ehysaddir^, and Malvane^, a navigable stream. 
The city of Siga ^, formerly the residence of King Sypbax, lies 
opposite to that of Malaca^ in Spain : it now belongs to the 
second^ Mauritania, But these countries, I should remark, 
fcrr a long time retained the names of their respective kings, 
the further Mauritania being called the "land of Bogud^," 
while that which is now called Csesariensis was called the 
" country of Bocchus." After passing Siga we come to the 
haven called "Portus Magnus^" from its great extent, with a 
town whose people enjoy the rights of Eoman citizens, and 
then the river Mulucha^, which served as the limit between 
the territory of Bocchus and that of the Masssesyli. Next 
to this is Quiza Xenitana^^, a town founded by strangers, 
and Arsenaria^^, a place with the ancient Latin rights, three 
miles distant from the sea. We then come to Cartenna^^, a 
that it is called the Setuaiij and is the largest stream on the northern 
shores of Western AJfrica. 
^ The modern Gromera according to Hardomn, the INocor according 
toMannert. 2 rpj^e modern Mehlla most probably. 
3 The modern Maluia. Antoninus calls it Malva, and Ptolemy Maloua. 
* Its site is occupied by the modem Aresgol, according to Mariana, 
Guardia or SerCni according to Dupinet, Ned-Roma according to Man- 
nert and D'Anville, and Tachumbrit according to Shaw. Marcus is in- 
cUned to be of the same opinion as the last-nientioned geographer. 
|| 5 Now the city of Malaga. 
" -Mauritania Csesariensis, or Csesarian Mauritania, now forming the 
French province of Algiers. 
7 "Bogudiana;" from Bogud or Bogoas. The last king Bogud was 
deprived of his kingdom by Bocchus, king of Mamitania Csesariensis, a 
warm partisan of Caesar. 
s Or the " Grreat Harbour," now Arzeu according to D'Anville, and 
Mars-el-Kebir according to Marcus. 
9 The same river probably as the Malva or Malvana previously men- 
tioned, the word mulucha or malacJia coming from the Grreek /loXoxVi " a 
marsh mallow," which malva, as a Latin word, also signifies. See p. 383. 
^0 l^rom the Greek word tevo9, " a stranger." Pomponius Mela and 
Antoninus call this place Gruiza, and Ptolemy Quisa. D'Anville places 
it on the right side of the river Malvana or Mulucha, and Shaw says 
that it was situate in the vicinity of the modern town of Oran. 
^1 Now Marz-Agolet, or situate in its vicinity, according to Hardouin 
and Ansart, and the present Arzen, according to Marcus, where nume- 
rous remains of antiquity are found. 
^2 Now Tenez, according to D'Anville, and Mesgraim, according to 
Mannert ; with which last opinion Marcus agrees.
