   Elath, the (926c)a or Elana of the Greek and Roman writers, was a
   celebrated port situated at the extremity of the eastern
   branch of the Red Sea, hence called the Elanitic Gulf, ten
   miles east from Petra, according to Eusebius, and 150; Roman
   miles from Gaza, according to Pliny, but 1,260; stadia, or 157
   miles, according to Strabo and Marcianus Herecleota.  It is
   now called Akaba, and is nothing but a tower or castle,
   surrounded by a large grove of date trees, the residence of a
   governor, dependent on him of Grand Cairo.
