Histories

Kawm Juayf [30.583,30.9] (inhabited place), Al Buhayrah, Lower Egypt, Egypt, AfricaNaucratis was in the past the only trading port in Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt. Whoever came to any other mouth of the Nahr an- Nil [31.1,30.166] (river), AfricaNile had to swear that he had not come intentionally, and had then to take his ship and sail to the Canobic mouth; or if he could not sail against contrary winds, he had to carry his cargo in barges around the Delta until he came to Kawm Juayf [30.583,30.9] (inhabited place), Al Buhayrah, Lower Egypt, Egypt, AfricaNaucratis. In such esteem was Kawm Juayf [30.583,30.9] (inhabited place), Al Buhayrah, Lower Egypt, Egypt, AfricaNaucratis held.

When the Amphictyons paid three hundred talents to have the temple that now stands at Delphi [22.5167,38.4917] (Perseus) Delphi finished (as that which was formerly there burnt down by accident), it was the Delphians' lot to pay a fourth of the cost.

They went about from city to city collecting gifts, and got most from Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt; for Amasis gave them a thousand talents' weight of astringent earth,[*](Alum, apparently.) and the Greek settlers in Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt twenty minae.
