To this day, in the ruins of its destruction, they excavate what remains of its palaces and the foundations of its buildings, extracting from them types of marble that defy description. An expert informed me that he saw a single piece of marble extracted that was 40 cubits long and 7 cubits wide. Excavation in its ruins is constant and never ceases, and extracting marble from it is not difficult. Its marble is transported to all parts of the earth, and no one can leave it by ship or otherwise without taking a significant amount of its marble with them, to the point that this has become famous. There are also marble columns there whose circumference is 40 cubits or less. The city of Carthage is surrounded by land, plains, farms, various crops, and great benefits. To the west of Carthage lies the region of the city of Sfax, a significant region with three cities: Gafsa, Tunis, and Bizerte. Bizerte is a fortified city on the sea, smaller than the city of Sousse. Between Tunis and Bizerte is a day's journey by land. The city of Bizerte is small but inhabited, with its own amenities and markets. To its east is its well-known lake, named after it, which is 19 miles long and 8 miles wide. Its southern part is connected to the sea, and as it extends inland, it widens, and as it approaches the sea, it narrows. This lake is one of the wonders of the world, for it contains twelve types of fish, with one type found each month, not mixing with other types of fish. When the month ends, that type of fish is no longer found in the following month. Then, in the next month, a different type of fish appears, not mixing with others. This continues for each month, with a type of fish unique to that month, not mixing with any other fish, until the end of the year. This is the case every year, with these twelve types of fish.
