An oasis in North Africa (BA 38 C4), modern Awjila(h) in northeastern Libya. Herodotus names Augila (4.172.1) as the place the NASAMONES travel to in the summer, after leaving their flocks on the coast, for date cultivation. Later (4.182) he notes that Augila lies a ten‐day journey west of the Ammonians (the Sîwa Oasis; cf. Strabo 17.3.23/C838). Later authors refer to a people there, the Augilae (Plin. HN 5.45).
