Ptolemais Theron translated, Ptolemais of the Hunts was a marketplace on the Africa n side of the Red Sea , whose location is now uncertain. According to Strabo 16.4.7 , Ptolemais was founded as a base to support the hunting of elephant s by a certain Eumedes, who had been sent there by Ptolemy II of Egypt Ptolemy Philadelphus , king of Ptolemaic Egypt. Eumedes, secretly enclosed a kind of peninsula with a ditch and a wall, and then, by courteous treatment of those who tried to hinder the work, actually won them over as friends instead of foes. Strabo 16.4.7 . Ptolemais was only one of a series of such elephant hunting stations along the Red Sea coast of Africa, Adulis being perhaps originally another. The early Ptolemaic dynasty Ptolemies had seen the value of war elephant s by the military strength of the Seleucid dynasty Seleucids . Cut off from any possibility of acquiring Indian elephant s, they founded and actively sought to capture them from the neighboring regions of Africa . Although these animals helped in the Battle of Raphia , they proved unstable and the African elephant African species were intimidated by the Asian species, which led to the Egyptians eventually abandoning the use of these animals in war. Unlike most of the stations the Ptolemies established to the south of their kingdom, Ptolemais had enough fertile land immediately around it to sustain it as a town.

With tenuous Byzantine Empire Byzantine control over Libya restricted to a few poorly defended coastal strongholds, the Arab horsemen who first crossed into Pentapolis , Cyrenaica in September 642 encountered little resistance. Under the command of Amr ibn al A as , the armies of Islam conquered Cyrenaica , renaming the Pentapolis North Africa Pentapolis , Barqa. Islamic conquest main Islamic conquest of North Africa From Barqa, Uqba bin Nafi led a campaign against Fezzan , marching to Zaweela, the capital of Fezzan. No resistance was offered, and the entire district submitted to the Muslims agreeing to pay Jizya . A clause was further inserted in the peace treaty that part of the Jizya coming from the district was to be spent on the poor of the area. In 647 an army of 40,000 Arab s, led by Abdu llah ibn Sa ad , the foster brother of Caliph Uthman Uthman ibn Affan , penetrated further into western Libya. Tripoli was taken from the Byzantines, followed by Sbeitla Sufetula , a city 150 miles south of Carthage , where the Gregory exarch Exarch Gregory , was killed. The campaign lasted fifteen months, after which Abdallah s force returned to Egypt after Gregory s successor Gennadius 7th century Gennadius promised them an annual tribute of some 330,000 nomismata . Gennadius also sent the usual surplus of revenues over expenditures to Constantinople , but otherwise administered Africa as he liked.

When Gennadius refused to pay the additional sums demanded from Constantinople, his own men overthrew him.
