Germa, or Jermah, is placed, by Mr. Beaufoy, _southward_ from Zuila, and at nearly the same distance from Mourzouk. This is unquestionably the _Garama_ of the Romans,[43] the capital of Fezzan, or _Phazania_, at the time of the Roman conquest; and which appears to have given the name of _Garamantes_ to the whole nation. (As the discussion of this subject is already before the Public, in the Geography of Herodotus, Section XXII. the Author begs leave to refer to it). Mr. Horneman, who names this place _Yerma_, places it to the _west_ of the capital: however, M. D’Anville has placed it under the name of _Gherma_, to the SE, with _Tessoua_ (or _Tosaûa_) between the two; and this is Mr. Beaufoy’s arrangement of it. It should be noticed that M. D’Anville places these towns out of all proportion too far to the south-east of Mourzouk; being unconscious that _Gherma_, or _Garama_, was situated within Fezzan, although he recognises it as the capital of the _Garamantes_. Kattron is placed SE from the capital, by Mr. Beaufoy, distant 60 road miles. This is the _Gatron_ of Mr. Horneman, placed by him directly south. D’Anville names it _Catron_, and places it about SSW, distant 75 G. miles. In another place, where Mr. Horneman describes a march of troops from Fezzan to Burgu, he reckons Gatron S 54 miles from Mourzouk, in the way to Teghery; which being, by every account, to the west of south, from Mourzouk, it may be inferred that Katron lies to the southward, rather than to the south-eastward. The report of the distance differs but little between Mr. Horneman and Mr. Beaufoy. M. D’Anville probably was not so well informed as either of these gentlemen, in respect of the distance. Mendra is said, by Mr. Beaufoy, to be 60 miles nearly south, from the capital. But this is the position of Katron, according to Horneman, and which, as we have seen, appears probable: and Mendra being a _province_, as well as a town, must be in some other situation. Possibly, it ought to change places with Katron, in Mr. Beaufoy’s description. Teghery is given by Mr. Beaufoy, as the most westerly, or rather south-westerly town of Fezzan; and he places it SW 80 road miles from the capital. The same place appears in a route (mentioned before) from Mourzouk to Burgu, by Mr. Horneman, who places it SSW 33 such miles, from Katron; whence the position of Teghery would be about S ¾ W, 85 miles. But D’Anville places it at SSW ½ W 116 G. miles from Mourzouk; and although the distance in this case, as in that of Katron, is excessive, yet some regard ought to be had to the bearing. Accordingly, a mean of the three gives S 26 W; and the mean distance of Beaufoy and Horneman 68 G. miles, reduced to a direct line.
