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.).
