Before his time the river flowed entirely through the sandy range of hills which skirts Egypt on the side of Libya. He, however, by banking up the river at the bend which it forms about a hundred furlongs south of Memphis, laid the ancient channel dry, while he dug a new course for the stream half-way between the two lines of hills … Besides these works, he also, the priests said, built the temple of Vulcan [i.e. Ptah] which stands within the city [i.e. in Herodotus' time], a vast edifice, very worthy of mention."
