What is "dothenses"

' Dothenses' was a population of ancient Numidia whose location is unknown, but it could be located near the cave of Djebel-Taya and Thibilis, in Guelma ( Algeria). The existence of this city is known thanks to numerous votive inscriptions dedicated to god Bacax recorded on the walls of the cave of Djebel-Taya. In five of these inscriptions is mentioned about the Dothenses community, that would be responsible for conducting the annual offerings to the deity in the spring months.
