a city of the province of Aqui, in Piedmont, standing on the river Belbo, where the Nizza falls into it. It is a poor place, surrounded with walls, containing a few splendid houses, five monasteries, and 5156 inhabitants, who chiefly subsist by spinning silk and cultivating vineyards.

or No-Ammon, a considerable city of Egypt, dedicated to Ammon or Jupiter. The Septuagint translate the name in Ezekiel, *Diospolis*, or the City of Jupiter. Bochart takes it to be *Thebes* in Egypt, which, according to Strabo and Ptolemy, was called *Diospolis*. Jerome, after the Chaldaic paraphrast Jonathan, supposes it to be Alexandria, named thus by way of anticipation; or an ancient city of that name which is supposed to have stood on the spot where Alexandria was afterwards built.
