ADULE, or ADULIS, in Ancient Geography, a town of Egypt built by fugitive slaves, distant from its port on the Red sea 20 stadia. Pliny calls the inhabitants Adulite. The epithet is either Adulitanus; as, Mnumentum Adulitanum, on the pompous inscription of the statue of Ptolemy Euergetes, published by Leo Alatus at Rome in 1631, and to be found in Spon and Thevenot: or, Adulicus; as, Adulicus Sinus, a part of the Red sea.
