This Sidi Heli brought some ciuilitie into this mountaine, rebelled against the king of Fez, and maintained continuall warre against the Portugals. The inhabitants of the villages of this and the foresaid mountaines, are free from all taxation and tribute, bicause 〈◊〉〈◊〉 serue vnder their captaine as well for horsemen as for 〈◊〉〈◊〉. Come heere groweth small store, but great plentie of flaxe. There are 〈◊〉〈◊〉 woods, and many fountaines vpon this hill: and the inhabi∣tants go all 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉.
