     The only practicable entrance into Egypt is by this road : from Phœnicia, down to the confines of the city of Cadytis, the land appertains to the people called Syrian Palæstinians : from Cadytis, which, in my opinion, is scarcely inferior in size to Sardis, the staples along the shore to Jenysus belong to the Arabian prince : from Jenysus, on to Lake Serbonis, the coast is again possessed by the Syrians.
