a principal town in Fezzan, in Africa, about 80 miles south-west of the capital. It collects from its lands little other produce than dates and Indian corn. In this, as in every town in Fezzan, a market for butcher-meat, corn, fruit, and vegetables, is regularly held. Mutton and goats' flesh are sold by the quarter without weighing; the usual price is from 32 to 40 grains of gold-dust, or four or five taillings English money. The flesh of the camel, which is much more highly valued, is commonly sold at a dearer rate, and is divided into smaller lots. Agriculture and pasturage seem to be the principal occupations.
