“According to the 11th-century Muslim writer al-Bakrī, there was a location called Gherza in Tripolitania with a hilltop sanctuary containing a stone idol that the Berber tribes from the surrounding region still worshipped. According to Yves Modéran, the location al-Bakrī mentions may be Ghirza, and the idol perhaps connected with Gurzil.”
