odd tho’ trifling circumflance. The name of the^ 
Perfon who owns the Land where thofe Caves are, is 
Pachmo, which is very near the fame with that of the ' 
Spaniard, who is faid by Plutarch to have entertained 
C rajf us Co courteoudy, Ua,->uctt(ps. . f/irtius in t\\Q begin- 
ning of his Book de hello Hifpanico mentions a Spaniard 
of Note, in provincia B£tiea, called Patiecus. ^ibus 
frafecit hominem ejus provincU notum ^ non parum 
fcientem, L. Julium Patlecum, which was probably the 
Roman Name ; and therefore .1 am furprized the Latin 
Tranflator of Plutarch makes it Pacianus. 
Moft of the antient Geographers defcribe the Caad 
Weftward of Carteia in the following manner. JulU 
Traducia, Mdlaria^ Balo fiuvius ^ oppidum^ Portus Bajippo^ , 
Tromontorium Junonis, &c. The Itinerary of Antoninus, . 
makes no mention of Julia Tradu5ia, and Pliny places iton ; 
the African Coaft, which Hardouin endeavours to account 
for Pag. 227. in his Nummi Uluftrati.i Straho c^\h it Ju- - 
Ham Jozam, which as obferves Lib. I. C. 24. fig- * 
nifies the fame in the Phanici an Language as TraduPtam 
in the Latin.: Ptolomj calls it LranfduBao He places s 
Barhejula between that and Carteia. But all the other 
old Geographers put both the Town and River of 
that Name Eaftward of Calpe. I faw fomd Ruins on 
the Eaji fide of the River Guadiaro, four Leagues 
oi Gibraltar which I take to be the remains of the 
ancient Barhefula. For I find in the Cadiz Emporio del 
Orbe, mention made of two pieces of Marble, brought . 
from thence to Gibraltar on one of which was M M ' 
BARBESVLANI. I was credibly informed they ' 
were ufed for the Fountain on the Parade. The Letters - 
probably were either fa wed off, or turned inwards; for r 
they do not appear. This Barhefula is probably ^ the^ 
placed' in the Itinerary X. P* Bafciiom \
