CABUBATHRA MONS
CABUBATHRA MONS (
Καβούβαθρα ὄρος), a mountain on the SW. coast of Arabia, mentioned by Ptolemy (
6.7. § § 8, 12) as the western extremity of the country of the Homeritae, 1 1/2° E. of the Straits of the Red Sea (
Bab-el-Mandeb).
This situation would nearly coincide with the
Jebel Kurruz in Capt. Haines's
Chart, which rises to the height of 2772 feet.
