[3451] Discera was the Im-Zerah of modern travellers, on the road from Sockna to Mourzouk, according to Marcus, who is of opinion that the places which follow were situate at the east and north-east of Thuben and the Black Mountain.
[3452] Om-El-Abid, to the N.W. of Garama or Gherma, according to Marcus, and Oudney the traveller.
[3453] The same, Marcus thinks, as the modern Tessava in Fezzan.
[3454] Marcus suggests that this may be the modern Sana.
[3455] The town of Winega mentioned by Oudney, was probably the ancient Pega, according to Marcus.
[3456] The modern Missolat, according to Marcus, on the route from Tripoli to Murmuck.
[3457] According to Marcus, this was the Mount Goriano of the English travellers Denham, Clapperton, and Oudney, where, confirming the statement here made by Pliny, they found quartz, jasper, onyx, agates, and cornelians.
[3458] Mentioned by Tacitus, B. iv. c. 50. The town of Œa has been alluded to by Pliny in C. [4].
[3459] “Past the head of the rock.” Marcus suggests that this is the Gibel-Gelat or Rock of Gelat spoken of by the English travellers Denham, Clapperton, and Oudney, forming a portion of the chain of Guriano or Gyr. He says, that at the foot of this mountain travellers have to pass from Old and New Tripoli on their road to Missolat, the Maxala of Pliny, and thence to Gerama or Gherma, the ancient capital of Fezzan.
[3460] As Marcus observes, this would not make it to extend so far south as the sixteenth degree of north latitude.
