1846, Herodotus, Thomas Gaisford and Peter Edmund Laurent, The Nine Books of the History of Herodotus, Henry Slatter; third edition, Volume I of II, Book III, page 199:
The only practicable entrance into Egypt is by this road : from Phœnicia, down to the confines of the city of Cadytis, the land appertains to the people called Syrian Palæstinians : from Cadytis, which, in my opinion, is scarcely inferior in size to Sardis, the staples along the shore to Jenysus belong to the Arabian prince : from Jenysus, on to Lake Serbonis, the coast is again possessed by the Syrians.
