Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2

“Mizr” in Assyrian = “Musur,” in Heb. “Misraim” (the dual Misrs, whose duality permeated all their polity), and in Arab “Misr,” the O. Egypt. “Há káhi Ptáh” (the Land of the great God, Ptah), and the Coptic “Tá-mera” = the Land of the Nile flood, ignoring, I may add, all tradition of a Noachian or general deluge.
