the Bahr Yoiixel' verv near its upper e.rtretnitt/ at Torottt-es-Sherif.
'The Bahr fousef separates into two branches near the openina of
the I'aiotnn til Btaoun . One branch falls into the Lake Birhet el

se<l the Pyramids ofGhbceh, it branches into smaller Canals which
fmallit terminate nearjfUoatn nl/ere the hills of the western desert
come into contact with the Xile. Owing to neglect, this great pa-
rallel river is not qeneralitf tuniqahle, e.reept i/t the three months
of the inundation . Though it mag hare been oriainolltf artificial
and the worf perhaps of Metis or some other very antteril monarch,
it litis now assumed 'ill the sinuosities of a natural river, to/-
lowing in most parts the edge of the rocky or sandu heights of
the Lybian Desert . Wherever the etiltivahle land ol'l'pper Egypt is
wide,villages and cultivation are foundanlg near the banks
of the Xile and of this its great parallel branch , and the inter*
mediate spare .where , t'rom the want ot a proper system of
canals, the inundation remains too long ,is uitciiliivtiletl and

thoiu/h if is impossible to reconcile the a* •counts ahen by £fe~
rodotns, Diodonts, Straho, and Pliny, with each other, or with
actual appearances, there ran he Utile don' 'ft that this famous
lake was the present Birket-el-Keroitn ,whit V? seems to have heen

the lakes which exist in the low if rounds i >f the Desert of the
Sharkveh in Lower Egypt, where tor sir r nonths otter plentiful
inundations , ore found several large skat fow hikes of fresh
water .differing only from the Mo-ris in the greater depth and
permanence of the latter .As the stream of the Xile has ,i tenden-
cy to the westward .lake Mieris may have been deepened to
prevent the loss of water in the direction t >f lite valley beyond

excesses of a superabundant inundation , and for reserving the
waters for those years when the Xile did n. "I rise to a sufficient

It often happen* that a District contains numy small hamlets,and

is marked, hut the situation ofthe district indicated hy the position
of'its name . The cultivable soil is chiefly on the east side,but if.*- breadth

h'lAiriuiu seems to l>c the tinlient Egyptian name ofthe place lilimitu with
the .htihic article . I'rom lilimitu the Creeks math' fhemmis .cailimj the
place also Panopohs from the worship of the principal Drily . In like manner
it is prohahle that most ofthe modern names of undent [sites which can*
not be Ira ceil to an Arabic etymology ,arc the same ,or nearly the same ,
as the anfient Egyptian mimes . Thus Baou, Oaou , Mont, Edtbu , /'.'sue,
are probably the same names thai were attached to those places in the lime of
the tmtient Egyptian Monarchy, hut which the Greeks titnlitn/ too Aisso--
tnuit to their ears, converted into names derived from 'their own l4gthalogy.
Wherever the Egyptian name was easily convertible itito Cirek, they pre-
served it as in the instances ot'Siisilis , Js/>ltinis , Omoos, 'Tcntyra , Mem «
plus . As to 'fitches, its real mime appears from the Septuagmt to have
been No.

It nniy be interred fhtm the accoimt which Herodotus has given
of flic Islaml liicluunpso, the lake tirar it Sr. that the Greeks had
very hi tic correct information regarding the - country til/are

the temple ofDebod copied l>v .llcfs'AHamilton and I.cake in 1802 is the
only one in these Districts st> oldas the time of the Ptolemies ; all the others
are of the Potmin Empire, and some of Christian 'limes . The first accurate
knowledge ofthe country beyond the Dodecaschcmus seems to have heen
ohtainctl by the Military expedition commanded hy Petronius in the reign
of Augustus . Strain-, who travelled in Egypt shortly afterwards has led
us tin authentic account ot'it . He describes the (Ethiopians to hove heen
armed (nearly as the Bisharye now are , with shields ,aaxs, spears anil swart Is.
Petronius having defeated them in the field, tot A.- Pselca, and tram thence , having

of Queen tan dace .took and destroyed it, and returning to Prelum's , fortified
that place . Here the Soman Carrison was soon a/lrrwitrds attacked hy

renrcs says, "t'ppida erpiit/iiavit ( Petronius I auce sola invencrat opto dircmus

Stadisis at. lamara. though such a Cataract as Pliny describes is not found there
or any where else . There is no yuidanee to the tmtient names of the places which
stood at Sehona , Hasseya . and />err . 'lliry it ere beyond the DoAccasch,etuis ,
and neither Straho nor Pliny mention any place hetween Pseleis ami Prim is *
The tituient temples above I'hihe are of hvo very dhlh'ctit kimls . fliase
excavated in the rock- at Gyrshe and Ebsambal rival some of ^e grandest
wotks ofthe Egyptians and may he supposed at least coeval with the a/nietd
monarchy of Thebes. The temples constructed in masonry on the other hand are
not to he compared with those ofEaypt either in size or in the costly decorations
of Sculpture ami fainting; fhev are probably the works of a much later age.
* Pliny also yh'es the distance from Syene to Meroe. as reported hy some
ejcplorut(>res sent there expressly hy Nero, hut among the names there arc
only two of the places above mentioned viz.H'tera^ycununoti, 54 MP, and
Napata 5 24 MP. from Syene.

it is prohahle that most ofthe modern names of undent [sites which can*
not be Ira ceil to an Arabic etymology ,arc the same ,or nearly the same ,
as the anfient Egyptian mimes . Thus Baou, Oaou , Mont, Edtbu , /'.'sue,
are probably the same names thai were attached to those places in the lime of
the tmtient Egyptian Monarchy, hut which the Greeks titnlitn/ too Aisso--
tnuit to their ears, converted into names derived from 'their own l4gthalogy.
Wherever the Egyptian name was easily convertible itito Cirek, they pre-
served it as in the instances ot'Siisilis , Js/>ltinis , Omoos, 'Tcntyra , Mem «

been No.

It nniy be interred fhtm the accoimt which Herodotus has given
of flic Islaml liicluunpso, the lake tirar it Sr. that the Greeks had

the temple ofDebod copied l>v .llcfs'AHamilton and I.cake in 1802 is the
only one in these Districts st> oldas the time of the Ptolemies ; all the others
are of the Potmin Empire, and some of Christian 'limes . The first accurate
knowledge ofthe country beyond the Dodecaschcmus seems to have heen
ohtainctl by the Military expedition commanded hy Petronius in the reign
of Augustus . Strain-, who travelled in Egypt shortly afterwards has led
us tin authentic account ot'it . He describes the (Ethiopians to hove heen

of Queen tan dace .took and destroyed it, and returning to Prelum's , fortified
that place . Here the Soman Carrison was soon a/lrrwitrds attacked hy

renrcs says, "t'ppida erpiit/iiavit ( Petronius I auce sola invencrat opto dircmus

Stadisis at. lamara. though such a Cataract as Pliny describes is not found there
or any where else . There is no yuidanee to the tmtient names of the places which
stood at Sehona , Hasseya . and />err . 'lliry it ere beyond the DoAccasch,etuis ,
and neither Straho nor Pliny mention any place hetween Pseleis ami Prim is *
The tituient temples above I'hihe are of hvo very dhlh'ctit kimls . fliase
excavated in the rock- at Gyrshe and Ebsambal rival some of ^e grandest
wotks ofthe Egyptians and may he supposed at least coeval with the a/nietd
monarchy of Thebes. The temples constructed in masonry on the other hand are
not to he compared with those ofEaypt either in size or in the costly decorations
of Sculpture ami fainting; fhev are probably the works of a much later age.
* Pliny also yh'es the distance from Syene to Meroe. as reported hy some
ejcplorut(>res sent there expressly hy Nero, hut among the names there arc
only two of the places above mentioned viz.H'tera^ycununoti, 54 MP, and
