Χορτασώ, πόλις Αἰγύπτου. ἀπὸ μέλλοντος ὁ σχηματισμός. ὡς γὰρ τοῦ καλύψω ἡ Καλυψώ, οὕτω καὶ τοῦ χορτάσω Χορτασώ. ἱστοροῦσι γὰρ Κλεοπάτραν εἰς πόλεμον μὴ ἔχειν σιτία, τοῖς δ´ οἰκοῦσι τὸν τόπον τοσαύτην παρασχέσθαι τούτου τὴν ἀφθονίαν, ὥστε χορτάσαι πᾶσαν τὴν στρατιὰν καὶ ὄνομα τῇ πόλει παρ´ αὐτῆς ἐντεῦθεν τεθῆναι.

Chortaso: Chortaso, a city of Egypt. The formation is from the future. For as from 'kalypso' comes Kalypso, so also from 'chortaso' Chortaso. For they relate that Cleopatra, going to war, had no provisions, and that the inhabitants of the place supplied such an abundance of it as to satisfy the whole army, and that the name was given to the city by her from this.
