Note

Wikidata gives 32.6815, 28.8888 for the site; Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap (way 470779600) give 32.6583, 28.8917, 2.3 km west. The site stretches from the storage galleries in the hills, where the papyri were found, to the harbour jetty on the shore (Tallet 2016), so the point marks the site, not the find spot.
