    p.200 33 SFAKS (Safakos; today it is pronounced Sfacs) [Sfax]. According to Ibn-Sayd, 35.5 degrees longitude, and 31 degrees 50 minutes latitude. Sfaks is a coastal town in the province of Africa, in the third climate. It is situated to the east of Almahdya [Mahdia], and inclined towards the south. It is a small walled town. Its inhabitants drink water from wells. The gardens there are not numerous. It is located on an open plain. To the south is found a mountain, midway between the town and Cafsa [Gafsa], a half-days march in distance. This mountain, according to Ibn-Sayd, carries the name Mountain of Lions (djebel Al Seba).

    Abu al-Fida or Abul Fida Ismail Hamvi (fully Abu Al-fida' Isma'il Ibn 'ali ibn Mahmud Al-malik Almu'ayyad 'imad Ad-din, (also transliterated Abulfeda, Abu Alfida, and other ways)) (November 1273 October 27, 1331) was a Kurdish historian, geographer, and local sultan. The crater Abulfeda on the Moon, is named after him. His Geography is, like much of the history, founded on the works of his predecessors, including the works of Ptolemy and Muhammad al-Idrisi. A long introduction on various geographical matters is followed by twenty-eight sections dealing in tabular form with the chief towns of the world. After each name are given the longitude, latitude, climate, spelling, and then observations generally taken from earlier authors. Parts of the work were published and translated as early as 1650 in Europe. (Wikipedia)
