Note

Position from Wikidata Q323760. Butavand was one of the first modern writers to put Atlantis in the Gulf of Gabès; Borchardt, in German articles of 1927, placed it between the Chott el Djerid and the gulf, and put the Pillars of Heracles at a temple of Hercules at Gabès. Peyras and Trousset (1988) note that the Herodotean tradition puts Lake Tritonis here.
