The Chronicle of the Discovery and Conquest of Guinea. Vol. II

Note 75 — GOMES EANNES DE AZURARA;

C. Raymond (Charles Raymond) Beazley translation

The text here is very confused and difficult, but the best editors give the following text for Pliny's words: "He (Polybius) relates that beyond Atlas proceeding west there are forests.... Agrippa says that Lixus is distant from Gades 112 miles. From the Chariot of the Gods to the Western Horn is 10 days' voyage, and midway in this space he (i.e., Agr., not Pol.) has placed Mt. Atlas."
