     * Elath.
       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.
