4. Leaving Ptolemaïs Thêrôn we are conducted, at the distance of about 3000 stadia, to +Adouli+, a regular and established port of trade situated on a deep bay the direction of which is due south. Facing this, at a distance seaward of about 200 stadia from the inmost recess of the bay, lies an island called +Oreinê+ (or ‘the mountainous’), which runs on either side parallel with the mainland. Ships, that come to trade with Adouli, now-a-days anchor here, to avoid being attacked from the shore; for in former times when they used to anchor at the very head of the bay, beside an island called +Diodôros+, which was so close to land that the sea was fordable, the neighbouring barbarians, taking advantage of this, would run across to attack the ships at their moorings. At the distance of 20 stadia from the sea, opposite +Oreinê+, is the village of Adouli, which is not of any great size, and inland from this a three days’ journey is a city, +Kolöê+, the first market where ivory can be procured. From Kolöê it takes a journey of five days to reach the metropolis of the people called the +Auxumitae+, whereto is brought, through the province called +Kyêneion+, all the ivory obtained on the other side of the Nile, before it is sent on to Adouli. The whole mass, I may say, of the elephants and rhinoceroses which are killed _to supply the trade_ frequent the uplands _of the interior_, though at rare times they are seen near the coast, even in the neighbourhood of Adouli. Besides the islands already mentioned, a cluster consisting of many small ones lies out in the sea to the right of this port. They bear the name of +Alalaiou+, and yield the tortoises with which the +Ikhthyophagoi+ supply the market.
