“(or Awdag̲h̲os̲h̲t) African town, now no longer extant. According to al-Bakrī, it was situated between the country of the Blacks and Sid̲j̲ilmāssa, at about 51 days’ march from this oasis and 15 from G̲h̲āna. Barth thinks that it must have been situated between long. 10°-11° W. and lat. 18°-19° N., not far from Ḳṣār and Barka, that is to say to the South-West of the post of Tid̲j̲ikja in French Mauritania.” 2
