Remains of superimposed Arab and Roman settlements recorded by Gsell (AAA, whence BAtlas) on and around a hill about three kilometers to the southwest of the village of "Medjana" at "El Guerria" on the "Oued Lechbour". The location should lie within a kilometer of the BAtlas coordinates: a point near modern Guerria and the modern road from Guerria to Meğana in the Algerian wilaya of Bordj Bou Arreridj. A nineteenth century identification of El-Guerria with attested ancient Equizito was soundly rejected by Gsell (AAA 15.91), but it is still reflected in some modern epigraphic databases.

In addition to producing remains of presses, mills, columns, and ornamental sculpture, antiquarian and archaeological prospecting in the vicinity identified multiple Latin inscriptions, including boundary markers "assigned to the genti Numidarum" under the Roman emperor Hadrian (EDCS 25001059 and 25001060), as well as a milestone of Diocletianic date (EDCS 25001060).
