near the modern El-Kati, one of the chief cities of Arabia, stood on the N.E. coast of Arabia Felix, and became a great emporium for the trade of India and Arabia. The site is about 25 English miles from the shore of the Sinus Gerrhaicus, now Elwah Bay, on the W. side of the Persian Gulf, 240 miles from the mouth of the Tigris. The inhabitants were considered originally to have been Chaldeans who had been expelled from Babylon. Niebuhr considers it the modern Koneit. There was a small place of the same name on the N.E. frontier of Egypt, about 8 miles from Pelusium.
