Egyptian name, A-wabe, is very accurately rendered by Diodorus' Upbv

The Survey Department of the Egyptian Government has issued the
report on the Topography and Geology of the Faiyum province of Egypt,
by Mr. H. J. L. Beadnell. Of the immense importance of the results to

Breasted retranslates the report of Unamun. He considers it an
authentic report, not fiction, the implied long-standing use of rolls and
papyrus in Phoenicia shows that Egyptian hieratic had displaced cuneiform
in 1100 b.c., the Phoenician scribes forming an alphabet by discarding all
the miscellaneous signs of Egyptian by the tenth century. He attributes
