or Bagamedri, a province of the kingdom of Abyssinia in Africa. It is said to receive its name from the great number of sheep bred in it; meder signifying land or earth, and bag a sheep. Its length is estimated about 60 leagues, and its breadth 20; but formerly it was much more extensive; several of its provinces having been dismembered from it, and joined to that of Tigre. A great part of it, especially towards the east, is inhabited by wandering Gallas and Caffres.
