The channel is conducted a little above the city of Bubastis by Patumos the Arabian city, and runs into the Erythraian Sea : and it is dug first along those parts of the plain of Egypt which lie towards Arabia, just above which run the mountains which extend opposite Memphis, where are the stone -quarries, — along the base of these mountains the channel is conducted from West to East for a great way ; and after that it is directed towards a break in the hills and tends from these mountains towa...rds the noon-day and the South Wind to the Arabian gulf. Now in the place where the journey is least and shortest from the Northern to the Southern Sea (which is also called Erythraian), that is from Mount Casion, which is the boundary between Egypt and Syria, the distance is exactly ^^^ a thousand furlongs to the Arabian gulf; but the channel is much longer, since it is more wind- ing ; and in the reign of Needs there perished while digging it twelve myriads ^^* of the Egyptians. Now Needs ceased in the midst of his digging, because the utterance of an Oracle impeded him, which was to the effect that he was working for the Barbarian : and the Egyptians call all men Barbarians who do not agree with them in speech.
