Histories

Pheros was succeeded (they said) by a man of Mit Rahina [31.25,29.85] (inhabited place), Giza, Upper Egypt, Egypt, AfricaMemphis, whose name in the Greek tongue was Proteus. This Proteus has a very attractive and well-appointed temple precinct at Mit Rahina [31.25,29.85] (inhabited place), Giza, Upper Egypt, Egypt, AfricaMemphis, south of the temple of Hephaestus.

Around the precinct live Phoenicians of +Tyre [35.183,33.266] (inhabited place), Al-Janub, Lebanon, Asia Tyre, and the whole place is called the Camp of the Tyrians. There is in the precinct of Proteus a temple called the temple of the Stranger Aphrodite; I guess this is a temple of Helen, daughter of Tyndarus, partly because I have heard the story of Helen's abiding with Proteus, and partly because it bears the name of the Foreign Aphrodite: for no other of Aphrodite's temples is called by that name.
