Thevesté
(
Θεουέστη). Now Tebessa. A city of North Africa on the
frontier of Numidia. A fine triumphal arch and the ruins of the ancient walls still exist. See
Boissier, L'Afrique Romaine (1895). The Romans had a phrase
De Tebeste (Theveste) usque ad Tergeste, like the Scripture “From
Dan to Beersheba” (
Test. Porcell.).
