Notes
Reynolds, IRT, Section 7: The hill-country of Tripolitania is a limestone formation, nowhere rising above 1000 m. high. The Djebel owes its relative prosperity to the high ground, which catches the rain-bearing north-west winds and assures a rainfall higher than anywhere in Tripolitania outside the Tripoli oasis. Unlike the Eastern Djebel, which was in close contact with Lepcis Magna, the Western Djebel (here defined as from Garian westwards) was isolated from the coastal cities by the Gefara.
