[5] φησὶ δ᾽ Ἀρτεμίδωρος τὸ ἀντικείμενον ἐκ τῆς Ἀραβίας ἀκρωτήριον τῇ Δειρῇ καλεῖσθαι * Ἀκίλαν: τοὺς δὲ περὶ τὴν Δειρὴν κολοβοὺς εἶναι τὰς βαλάνους. ἀπὸ δὲ Ἡρώων πόλεως πλέουσι κατὰ τὴν Τρωγλοδυτικὴν πόλιν εἶναι Φιλωτέραν ἀπὸ τῆς ἀδελφῆς τοῦ δευτέρου Πτολεμαίου προσαγορευθεῖσαν, Σατύρου κτίσμα τοῦ πεμφθέντος ἐπὶ τὴν διερεύνησιν τῆς τῶν ἐλεφάντων θήρας καὶ τῆς Τρωγλοδυτικῆς: εἶτα ἄλλην πόλιν [p. 1074] Ἀρσινόην: εἶτα θερμῶν ὑδάτων ἐκβολὰς πικρῶν καὶ ἁλμυρῶν, κατὰ πέτρας τινὸς ὑψηλῆς ἐκδιδόντων εἰς τὴν θάλατταν, καὶ πλησίον ὄρος ἐστὶν ἐν πεδίῳ μιλτῶδες: εἶτα Μυὸς ὅρμον ὃν καὶ Ἀφροδίτης ὅρμον καλεῖσθαι, λιμένα μέγαν, τὸν εἴσπλουν ἔχοντα σκολιόν: προκεῖσθαι δὲ νήσους τρεῖς, δύο μὲν ἐλαίαις κατασκίους, μίαν δ᾽ ἧττον κατάσκιον, μελεαγρίδων μεστήν: εἶθ᾽ ἑξῆς τὸν Ἀκάθαρτον κόλπον καὶ αὐτὸν κατὰ τὴν Θηβαΐδα κείμενον, καθάπερ τὸν Μυὸς ὅρμον, ὄντως δὲ ἀκάθαρτον: καὶ γὰρ ὑφάλοις χοιράσι καὶ ῥαχίαις ἐκτετράχυνται καὶ πνοιαῖς καταιγιζούσαις τὸ πλέον. ἐνταῦθα δὲ ἱδρῦσθαι Βερενίκην πόλιν ἐν βάθει τοῦ κόλπου.
