Note 156 — Chapter XII · THE STONE OF HERCULES.
Reading edition
P’hn does occur in the hieroglyphics as the name of a people, but who they are is not known. Sharu is the general name given to the Phœnicians or “Celequins,” as the Turks say to-day Shaerli, otherwise the name of the town is used. As Homer has it: “Speak of the fortress in the waters, Taru of the Sea is its name. Water is carried to it in boats. It has fishes for bread.” British Museum Papyrus, Pl. Lv.
