[Footnote 34: My friend, Mr. Morton Pitt, M. P. has proved, by the enumeration of the inhabitants of a country parish in Dorsetshire, that the men of an age _capable_ of bearing arms are _one-fourth_ of the whole community. Mr. Horneman, if I understand him rightly, states the number of _actual_ warriors to be 1500; so that we ought, perhaps, to multiply that number by 5, to get nearer to the total amount of the population.] [Footnote 35: Edrisi places it at seven journies from Cairo; probably through Faiume.] [Footnote 36: Geography of Herodot. p. 560, 561.] [Footnote 37: Most of the modern authors, who have mentioned this Oasis, speak of _ruins_ existing in it. In particular Mr. Browne, p. 133.] [Footnote 38: (See Proceed. Afr. Assoc. 1790, ch. x.) The sea coast is truly about eight journies from Gegabib: but I know of no place of the name of _Duna_. Derna is twice that distance.] [Footnote 39: See above, page 108.] [Footnote 40: Abulfeda speaks both of its dates and its fountains: and Ben Ali informed Mr. Beaufoy, that it was famous for the “_abundance_ and _flavour_” of its dates. Proceed. Afr. Assoc. ch. x.] [Footnote 41: Mr. Horneman speaks of three towns in Augila, and Ben Ali adds a fourth town, or village, _Guizara_, situated at one journey to the east of the capital. Hence it agrees with the watering-place to which Mr. Horneman came at nine hours short of Augila. It seems to be also the _Saragma_ of Ptolemy. (Tab. III. Africæ.)] [Footnote 42: Mr. Horneman saw some remains, which ought to be referred to the time of Mahomedanism.] [Footnote 43: There are considerable remains of structures, at this day. See Proceed. Afr. Assoc. 1790, chap. iv.] [Footnote 44: Gadamis, it would appear, ought to be placed more to the eastward than it appears in the Map of 1798; which will increase the direct distance of Teghery from Tunis, on the Map, by straightening the line of the road. Gadamis was pointed out to Mr. Magrah, to bear from Tunis, S 4° E; the distance 23 caravan days. Of these, the first 10 were to Kabes, situated in the Map of D’Anville at 163½ G. miles, in a direction of S a very little W from Tunis. If the other 13 days (at the same rate of 16,35) equal to 212½ G. miles, be laid off on the line of S 4 E from Tunis, Gadamis will fall in latitude 30° 29′ 30″, longitude 11° east. Mr. Magrah was told that it bore SW from Tripoly, but no distance is given. Pliny says, that _Cydamus_ lies opposite to _Sabrata_ (Sabart, or old Tripoly). In one copy of Pliny, it is reckoned 12 journies from the Greater Syrtis. In this position it is somewhat more than 240 G. miles from it; agreeing to 12 journies of the rate of _light_ travelling, described above, page 126. These _data_ may be of use in the future corrections of the geography, as Gadamis may, from its position, be a useful point of outset.] [Footnote 45: That Map has been corrected accordingly; and is placed opposite.]
