T)ami-ata is one of the moil confiderable Cities for Trade inoami-ata 0, 

 Egyft. It lyeth upon the eaftern Banks of the Nile, at fivexHil"'''' 

 Mile's Diftance from the Sea, and about fixty to the N. N. W. 

 of TineJj. The Branch that runs by it, has been generally re- 

 ceived for the Teluftac, by miftaking, no Doubt, this City for 

 the antient Teiuftum ; whereas Dami-ata feems rather to be a 

 Corruption οϊ Thamiathis , its former Name. This Branch 

 therefore, as well from the Situation as theLargenefs of it, ihould 

 be the Tathmetic, (or Thatnic as Strabo calls it,) betwixt which 

 and the Telufiac, were the Mendefian and the Tanitic \ but

 As this Place lyeth five Leagues from Alexandria, and the^''^°''"^' 

 Branch of Me-dea feven, we may be induced, from the Au-

 the other for the Branch of the fame Name. But This, no 

 lefs than the Sebennitic and Teluftac Branches, are, at prefent, 

 of little Account, except at the Time of the Inundation ; the 

 Nile difcharging Itfelf chiefly at other Times, through thofe 

 of Rozetto and Dami-aia.
