Raʾs Tīnī

Map

Notes

If identical with Raʿs al-Tīn, then it is a cape on the Libyan coast, west of Tobruk and located on the Gulf of Bomba. Observation posts were placed between here and Alexandria to spot ships' progress. Ships sailing west would stay close to the shore until this point and only thereafter cross blue water.
