Countless vessels are also at anchor in the Eunostus.

The riches of the whole earth flow into both havens.

And the life and movement there and in the inland harbour on Lake Mareotis, where the Nile boats land! From early until late, what a busy throng, what an abundance of wares--and how many of the most valuable goods are made in our own city! for whatever useful, fine, and costly articles industrial art produces are manufactured here.

The roof has not yet been put on many a factory in which busy workers are already making beautiful things.

Here the weaver's shuttle flies, yonder gold is spun around slender threads of sheep guts, elsewhere costly materials are embroidered by women's nimble fingers with the prepared gold thread.
There glass is blown, or weapons and iron utensils are forged.
