* Noph.
Noph, or Moph, is the celebrated city of Memphis, as the
Chaldee and LXX. render; long the residence of the ancient
Egyptian kings, and situated fifteen miles above where the
Delta begins, on the western side of the Nile. It was in the
neighbourhood of Memphis that the famous pyramids were
erected, whose grandeur and beauty still astonish the modern
traveller: they are about twenty in number; the largest of
which is 481; feet perpendicular height, and the area of its
basis is on 480,249; square feet, or something more than eleven
acres, being exactly the size of Lincoln's Inn Fields in
London. The immense ruins between the northern and southern
pyramids, and about fourteen miles from Cairo, still called
Memf, Menf, or Menouf, seem to mark the site of this city.
