{Gom(822c)} is the papyrus, so famous in all antiquity. It grows
on the banks of the Nile, and in marshy grounds; the stalk
rises to the height of six or seven cubits above the water,
is triangular, and terminates in a crown of small filaments,
resembling hair. This reed was of the greatest use to the
Egyptians; the pith serving them for food, and the woody part
to build vessels with; which vessels frequently appear on
various monuments of Egyptian antiquity. That boats were
made of this reed is also attested by Pliny and others.
