Aghades is a large district, having a town of the same name ; it 
is 36 days from Morzouk in summer, and in winter is sometimes 
45. It is 15 or 20 days from Kashna ; 20 from Bornou ; 6 from 
Asouda ; 3 or 4 from Begzam ; 30 in summer, and 35 or 40 in 
winter, from Ghraat; and 40 from Tuat. The inhabitants are 
Tuarick of the tribe of Kellewi. It is a larger town than Mor- 
zouk ; the houses are of mud, and are built in the same style, and 
of the same size, as in Fezzan : some have a kind of second story. 
It is surrounded by a wall of mud and stone, of sufficient strength 
to protect it. There is a very high IMouadden or Minaret to the 
principal mosque, which the Tuarick affect to consider higher 
than any in Egypt. The country is independent, and is governed 
by a Sheikh, who is a Mulatto, and of middle age, named Yusuffah.
