(1) Pelusium, a city situated in the marshes on the eastern border of Egypt, now together with the whole region submerged by the sea, Ezekiel 30:15, 16 Ezekiel 30:16 compare Strabo xvii. p. 802. It is called in Arabic طينة i.e. marsh, and فرمة Farame, which latter indeed is from the Egyptian ⲫⲉⲣⲟⲙⲝ, i.e. a clayey place (from ϥ art. masc., ⲉⲣ to be, and ⲟⲙⲝ clay); as has been observed by Champollion, l’Egypte, ii. 82, seq.
