In 1818, BELZONI,[4] fired by Cailliaud’s discoveries, set out to discover the ancient Berenice. Starting from Edfu, he travelled eastward for some days over Cailliaud’s route, then marched _via_ Bir Samut (where he discovered the ancient station) and Wadi Ghuel to the Zabara mines, where he found Cailliaud’s miners still at work. From Zabara he journeyed through the Wadi Sikait, passing the mines and ruined temples which had been discovered by Cailliaud, and down the Wadi Gemal to the sea. Proceeding then southward along the coast, he examined the sulphur mines at El Ranga near the mouth of the Wadi Abu Ghusun, and then made his discovery of the ruins of the temple and town of Berenice, near the peninsula of “Cape Galahen” (Ras Benas). The ruins were so inconspicuous as to be only found with difficulty, and the temple was so buried in sand that Belzoni could only make a very imperfect plan of it. The ancient town he estimates to have covered a space near the temple 1,600 feet broad and 2,000 feet long. Leaving Berenice the same day on which he made his discovery, Belzoni returned to Sikait by way of Abu Greia, Haratreit (where he discovered ancient stations), Hefeiri well, and the spring of Um Sueh. After copying some Greek inscriptions at Sikait, he returned to Edfu by way of Wadis Hafafit (_Dc_), where he found an ancient station, Abu Had, and Samut. Belzoni’s map[5] of his routes is of course very crude and erroneous, but the fact that he gives the names of the places he passed enables one to reconstruct his routes on modern maps with fair exactitude. His drawings of the ruins he visited are fairly accurate, that of the rock temple of Sikait being a much truer picture than Cailliaud’s.
