Ὅτι ὁ Νεῖλος ἀεὶ ἐκ νότου πρὸς ἄρκτους ῥεῖ ἕως τοῦ μεγάλου Δέλτα· εἶτα ἐκεῖθεν σχίζεται εἰς πολλὰ ἕως τῆς θαλάσσης, δεξιὰ μὲν ἕως Πηλουσίου, εὐώνυμα δὲ ἕως Κανώβου. Καὶ γίνεται ἡ κάτω Αἴγυπτος νῆσος τρίγωνος, τὸ Δέλτα, ᾧ ὁμώνυμον ἡ κορυφὴ καὶ ἡ ἐν αὐτῇ κώμη. Πᾶν δὲ τὸ Δέλτα τοσοῦτόν ἐστι κατὰ ῥᾳστώνην πλωτὸν διώρυξιν, ὥστε καὶ ὀστράκινα ἐνίοις πορθμεῖα εἶναι.
