The Provinces of the Roman Empire, from Caesar to Diocletian. v. 2

Note 261 — Chapter XII · EGYPT.

William P. (William Purdie) Dickson translation

The chastising of the pirates is reported by Agatharchides in Diodorus, iii. 43, and Strabo, xvi. 4, 18, p. 777. But Ezion-Geber in Palestine, on the Elanitic gulf, ἣ νῦν Βερενίκη καλεῖται (Josephus, Arch. viii. 6, 4), was so called certainly not from an Egyptian princess (Droysen, Hellenismus, iii. 2, 349), but from the Jewess of Titus.
