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