Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?

Numquid melior es Alexandria populorum, quæ habitat in fluminibus ? aquæ in circuitu ejus ; cujus divitiæ, mare ; aquæ, muri ejus.
Vulgate
ἑτοίμασαι μερίδα, ἅρμοσαι χορδήν, ἑτοίμασαι μερίδα, Ἀμμών, ἡ κατοικοῦσα ἐν ποταμοῖς· ὕδωρ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς, ἧς ἡ ἀρχὴ θάλασσα καὶ ὕδωρ τὰ τείχη αὐτῆς.
LXX
Art thou better than No-amon, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about her; whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was of the sea?
