FOOTNOTES:
[1]This observation is not applicable to the latter part of the ground we travelled over, which could not certainly have ever formed part of a road either ancient or modern; and it was wholly owing to the ignorance of our Chaous, who persisted that we were in the right track, that we were induced to attempt it.
[2]Signor Regignani was of the Jewish persuasion, and it is well known that in Mahometan countries the Jews are a persecuted race.
[3]The mill used for grinding corn by the Arabs is nothing more than a small flat stone on which another is turned by the hand, and this is usually placed in the lap of the women, who are the only millers and bakers in Arab families.
[4]Apollonia, formerly the port of Cyrene.
[5]These are the caves which we have given in the drawing, p. 493.
[6]The port of Apollonia is mentioned by Scylax, in conjunction with that of Naustathmos, as having been secure against all weathers; and his description of the little rocky islands and projecting points in this neighbourhood is, even at the present day, very correct.
[7]We are sorry to say that this view, with some others, which we could have wished to introduce, have been unavoidably omitted.
[8]Sulla spiaggia v’hanno maestosi ruderi di caseggiati, con avanzi di magnifica scalinata presso al mare. (p. 155.)
[9]These remarks will be better understood by a reference to the plan of Apollonia annexed.
