On this coast was a city called Iol,Cherchell, a corruption of Caesarea-Iol. which Juba, the father of Ptolemy, rebuilt and changed its name to Caesarea. It has a harbour and a small island in front of it. Between Caesarea and TretumEbba Ras (the seven capes) or Bougaron. is a large harbour called Salda,Bougie. which now forms the boundary between the territories subject to Juba and the Romans; for the country has been subject to many changes, having had numerous occupants; and the Romans, at various times, have treated some among them as friends, others as enemies, conceding or taking away territories without observing any established rule.
