Indeed, the boat going up from Kawm Juayf [30.583,30.9] (inhabited place), Al Buhayrah, Lower Egypt, Egypt, AfricaNaucratis to Mit Rahina [31.25,29.85] (inhabited place), Giza, Upper Egypt, Egypt, AfricaMemphis passes close by the pyramids themselves, though the course does not go by here,[*](The meaning of these words is not clear.

Anthylla is a town of some reputation, and is especially assigned to the consort of the reigning king of Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt, to provide her shoes. This has been done since Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt has been under Persian dominion.
