ἀντίη κεῖται H. seems to be trying to construct a rough parallel of longitude (cf. App. XIII, § 4). If he meant that the Ister mouth is about opposite the west mouth of the Nile he is right (they are each about 28° E. Lat.); but his arguments are wrong, for Cilicia Trachea is east of all the Nile mouths and Sinope further east still.
