Histories

It was Amasis also who made the law that every Egyptian declare his means of livelihood to the ruler of his district annually, and that omitting to do so or to prove that one had a legitimate livelihood be punishable with death. Solon the Athenian got this law from Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt and established it among his people; may they always have it, for it is a perfect law.

Amasis became a philhellene, and besides other services which he did for some of the Greeks, he gave those who came to Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt the city of Kawm Juayf [30.583,30.9] (inhabited place), Al Buhayrah, Lower Egypt, Egypt, AfricaNaucratis to live in; and to those who travelled to the country without wanting to settle there, he gave lands where they might set up altars and make holy places for their gods.
