Diré

or Deré (Δειρή, called by Ptolemy Δηρή). A promontory of Africa over against the coast of Arabia, and at the narrowest part of the Sinus Arabicus or Red Sea. From its appearance as it stretched along the coast, it received the appellation of Diré (Δειρή) or “the neck.” The modern name is Bab-el-Mandeb.
