1694. The great historical, geographical and poetical dictionary by Louis Moreri.
Cabes, Capes Cape, Tacapa, a conspicuous City on the Coast of Barbary, over against Trepano in Sicily, which has a River conveyed to it from a Lake behind it, and a Port, though of no great Use, because exposed to all Winds, which makes the River, though small, of the greater Value, the Tides filling it, and bringing up those Ships it will bear. From this City the Syrtis Minor is now called Golfo de Caps. It lies 70 Miles from Safucos to the East, and two Stations from Cairuan to the So East, and 20 Miles from Tunis South East. The Lake is called Tritonis, in Ptolomy and is said to be hot, and to cure the Leprosie. Leo. Africanus, P. 256 says, it was a strong Roman Town.
