Longitude of particular Places, and as to his Scale 
of Longitude in General, which he places at leaft

The Antlnine Itinerary will alfo admit of feve- 
ral Doubts and Contradidions, as Rkciolus has al- 
ready obferved, Geogr. p. .74, and therefore is not to 
be altogether depended upon;^ though it inuft ftill be 
allowed to be a much better Condudor than Pto^ 
lemyK Thus the Author of the Itinerary makes it 
to be xi6 Miles from Suffetula^ 1 prefume by the 
Way of Adrumettum^ to Clypea^ thereby making 
Clypea in Miles 'from Adrumettum'^ whereas in 
another Place, in his Maritime Itinerary, he only 
makes a Difference of about 44 Miles, or 550 Fur- 
longs. And again he makes the dired Road from 
Carthage through Larlhus and thevejie to' Clrta^ 
to be 3 3 ^ Miles , but the Road by Hippo Regius^ 
or Bona, ‘which fhould be further, only 312. So 
that great Caution is to be obferved in following 
that Authority. 
Pliny is not fo particular as either Ptolemy or the 
Itinerary. He lays down Things dn general, and 
therefore can give but little Light and Afliftance to 
a Traveller, in pointing out to him the antient 
Boundaries, or the particular Cities of this Kingdom. 
His Alphabetical Colledion of Towns, has but little 
Inftrudion in it, and where he would fe'em to follow 
fome Order and Method, as in naming the Towns 
along the Coaft of Blzaclum, he places Adrumet- 
turn and Rujplna after Leptls ; thereby infinuating, 
as if Leptls lay at a greater Diflance from the leffer 
Syrtis ; the contrary to which is proved eafily from 
Hlrtlus and other Authors. And if with Cluve>^
