Note 317 — Chapter IV
Walter Armstrong translation
De Rougé, Notice des Monuments, etc. (Upon the ground floor and the staircase.) Monuments Divers, No. 29. The term naos has generally been applied to these monuments, but it seems to us to lack precision. The Greeks used the word ναός or νεώς to signify the temple as a whole. Abd-el-Latif describes with great admiration a monolithic tabernacle which existed in his time among the ruins of Memphis, and was called by the Egyptians the Green Chamber. Makrizi tells us that it was broken up in 1349. (Description de l'Égypte, Ant., vol. v. pp. 572, 573.)
