Retell, or Arratama.

THe Dominion of Retell borders on Matgara, and reaches Southward along the River Fez, thirty miles distance from the River-Countrey of Sugulmesse; on the East confin'd with an inhabited Mountain, and in the West on a Sandy Plain, which the Arabians make their Rendezvouz, when they come out of the Desart. There are many fortifi'd Places or Sconces.

Retell hath abundance of Dates, yet covetous and narrow-hearted Inha∣bitants, who by the Arabians (under whom they submit) are handled like Slaves.
