a figura triangularr, pars Aegypti infer. inter Nili fossas extremas, h. e. Canopicam, et Pelusiacam, versus oram maris Mediterr. inter Alexandriam, ad Occ. Damiatam ad Ort. Cariam ad Mer. vide Ptol. Geogr. l. 4. qui duplicem facit, Strab. l. 15. et 17. et Plin. l. 5. c. 9. Herodot. l. 2. de templo urbis Busiridis, in media hac regione, loquitur, inde probaturus, Aegyptios primos festa celebrasse. Sahid. vulgo, Mahelech, teste G. Tyrio, dicitur. Baudr. ibi nunc pars est regionis Errif dictae ab incolis, cum Sahid sit Aegyptus superior. Item opp. Aegypti Deltae reg. Menuti teste Ortelio. Est etiam Indiae cit. insula Arriano, apud Indum fluv. cum urbe munitissima, Diu dicta, sub Lusitanis: Fadem cum Patala apud Plin. et Ptol. Baudr. quid sit, non constat. Diu enim ab aliis Burace dicitur. Coeterum, triplex in Aegypto Delta habet Salmas. Unum nempe, ubi Nilus in duas
partes scinditur: alterum, minus dictum, ubi Bubastiacus fluv. fit dividuus in Busiriticum, qui per Pathmiticum ostium in mare abit; tertium, ubi idem Bubastiacus amnis se in alia duo deverticula findit, quorum alterum per Athribin urbem, alterum per ostium Pineptimi, in mare effunditur. Ceterum ad ipsum Deltae verticem, aliae duae fiunt ectropae a maiori flumine, quae recta Septentrionem perunt, quarum una est Thermutiacus fluv. qui per Sebenniticum ostium exoneratur alteri nomen est Τάλου, quae per Bolbitinum exit. Qua de re vide Salmas. ad Solin. p. 477. adde Ioh. Marshamum Canone Chronico Sec. XV. tit. Aegyptus inferior.
