	Lake Mariut (Mariout, Maryut, Mareotis), a Landlocked Sea South of Alexandria
		Lake Mariut (Mariout, Maryut, Mareotis) is just south of, and actually forms the southern border of Alexandria.
		During antiquity, the lake was therefore fed by the Nile through the canals, but since then the water level has continuously declined, leaving the eastern part of the lake dried up, which is now cultivated land.
		Nowadays, the lake is about a meter (3 feet) lower than in the Graeco-Roman period, attested by the ancient harbors that now are left somewhat high and dry.

	Saint Patrick's Church: Saints of November 11
		This basic story has been expanded and embellished with preposterous marvels and the fame of the hero as one of the so- called soldier-saints grew in proportion: the little terracotta bottles (ampullae) for water from his shrine, brought away by pilgrims, have been found in all countries bordering the Mediterranean.
		That shrine was at Karm Abu Mina, southwest of Alexandria and Lake Mareotis, on the edge of the Libyan desert, where the ruins of the church and ancillary buildings have been laid bare, and many tokens of the cultus of Saint Mennas found.
		He has been popularly looked on as one of the great saints of Egypt down to today (Attwater, Benedictines, Bentley, Encyclopedia).
