Near sunrise, Catena Abulfeda looks not like a chain of craters, but more like a thin, very bright line, running tangent from one wall of Abulfeda to the opposite wall of Almanon.
I am fairly convinced after pondering Catena Abulfeda tonight that it must be an old fault, sort of like a more "mature" Rima Hyginus, whose catenish character was easily seen.
It's one of the best crater lines on the moon, and is all the more interesting for cutting through such rough terrain west of the remains of Catharina.

 A Short History of Palestine
There are nowhere to be met with regular documents in respect to its history, states, and towns; the past seems to have been entirely forgotten; so that the whole country cared, so to say, only for the present, and took no cognizance of what had preceded or was to follow.
It is true that some few Arabic historians have written something concerning Palestine, such as Abulfeda and Serif ibn Idrus; but their works have almost entirely disappeared, as was to be supposed would be the case under a government which had not and suffered not a free press.
It was only with the greatest trouble that I could obtain here and there an historical document, and I extracted therefrom only what interested me, that is, what has reference to the Israelitish people, but not the general and to us indifferent accounts and narratives.

Three times shaken by earthquakes in the 12th century, it was dismantled by 1260.
But it revived, and most of its fine mosque and fortress architecture, still extant, belongs to the reign of Sultan Kalaün (1282) and the succeeding century, during which Abulfeda describes it as a very strong place.
In 1517 it passed, with the rest of Syria, to the Ottoman Empire.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sozusa
In 1251 St. Louis re-erected its ramparts, and fourteen years later, in 1265, after a siege of forty days, it was stormed by the sultan Bibars; the inhabitants were killed or sold as slaves and the town completely razed.
It never recovered, and in the fourteenth century the geographer Abulfeda said it contained no inhabitants ("Tabula Syriæ", 82).
Its name Apollonia was replaced by Sozusa at an early period; in 449 at the Robber Council of Ephesus Baruchius signs with this title; its bishops, Leontius in 518, and Damianus in 553, are also known (Le Quien, "Oriens christianus", III, 595).

The crater of the same name is of little interest -- well formed with a smooth floor -- but there is a very large "ray"structure leading off to the east, with a bit of a southerly slope.
