Farther south the valley of the Anseba is dominated east by the Debr-Abi, or " Great Mountain," another almost solitary cliff, known also by the name of Tem- belleh. Bounded westwards by the valley of the Barka, the mountain range, forming a continuation of the Rora Azgedeh, is intersected by numerous headstreams of that river. The most important of these affluents, notably of the Anseba and the Barka itself, rise west of Massawah on the plateau, 4,000 feet high, which forms the north-east corner of Abyssinia proper. On this base another group of superb granite mountains rises to an elevation of some 16,000 feet. Such is the famous Debra Sina, or " Mount Sinai," to the east of Keren, and capital of the Bogo country.
