Worsley, Richard [Sammler] [Hrsg.]: Museum Worsleyanum: or, a collection of antique basso-relievos, bustos, statues, and gems ; with views of places in the Levant ; taken on the spot in the years MDCCLXXXV. VI. and VII. (Band 1) (London, 1824)

Now, would it not be proper in the representations of the Nile to indicate its origin ?
Various suitable emblems might be imagined calculated for the purpose.

Before we close this article, we cannot omit remarking, that the fertility occasioned
by the Nile, if we believe some writers, is truly a matter of the greatest astonishment,
Men by drinking of its waters are said to have acquired the prolific faculty of a goat,
who in the hieroglyphical language, as we observed before, was set forth as the type
of fecundity ; it must not be forgot that Apis, the Divine Bull, was not allowed to
drink of the water of the Nile, lest the Divinity should get too much flesh and blood,
so as to enlarge beyond the usual dimensions of nature.
