Visit to Crocodilopolis
· Crocodilopolis (modern Medinet el-Faiyum), Egypt
Strabo visited Crocodilopolis in the Arsinoite Nome. His party was led to the sacred crocodile's lake by a local official, and he described the encounter. The first-person plural establishes Strabo's presence; the visit is assigned to his Egyptian period of 25–24 BC. Coordinates represent ancient Crocodilopolis at modern Medinet el-Faiyum.
