Book 2
112.1
Pheros was succeeded (they said) by a man of Mit Rahina [31.25,29.85] (inhabited place), Giza, Upper Egypt, Egypt, Africa Memphis , whose name in the Greek tongue was Proteus. This Proteus has a very attractive and well-appointed temple precinct at Mit Rahina [31.25,29.85] (inhabited place), Giza, Upper Egypt, Egypt, Africa Memphis , south of the temple of Hephaestus.
112.2
Around the precinct live Phoenicians of +Tyre [35.183,33.266] (inhabited place), Al-Janub, Lebanon, Asia Tyre , and the whole place is called the Camp of the Tyrians. There is in the precinct of Proteus a temple called the temple of the Stranger Aphrodite; I guess this is a temple of Helen, daughter of Tyndarus, partly because I have heard the story of Helen's abiding with Proteus, and partly because it bears the name of the Foreign Aphrodite: for no other of Aphrodite's temples is called by that name.
113.1
When I inquired of the priests, they told me that this was the story of Helen. After carrying off Helen from Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta , Alexandrus sailed away for his own country; violent winds caught him in the +Aegean Sea [25,38.5] (sea) Aegean and drove him into the Egyptian sea; and from there (as the wind did not let up) he came to Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt , to the mouth of the Nahr an- Nil [31.1,30.166] (river), Africa Nile called the Canopic mouth, and to the Salters'.
