Excerpt from Hours With the Bible: Or, the Scriptures in the Light of Modern Discovery and Knowledge, From Moses to Judges

According to Ebers,' the limits of this tract stretched southwards in a narrow tongue, almost to the present Cairo. On the west side of the Tanitic branch of the Nile, which formed, in fact, its western boundary to the sea. On the south, on the other hand, it bent north-eastwardly from Cairo to the line of the present Suez Canal, which, however, it presently crossed, reaching the Mediterranean at Pelu sium, where the ancient fortified wall from Suez abutted on the shore. But any exact knowledge of the boundaries is perhaps, as yet, impossible, if we may judge from the con troversy respecting them.'
