Ptolemais Theron translated, Ptolemais of the Hunts was a marketplace on the Africa n side of the Red Sea , whose location is now uncertain. According to Strabo 16.4.7 , Ptolemais was founded as a base to support the hunting of elephant s by a certain Eumedes, who had been sent there by Ptolemy II of Egypt Ptolemy Philadelphus , king of Ptolemaic Egypt. Eumedes, secretly enclosed a kind of peninsula with a ditch and a wall, and then, by courteous treatment of those who tried to hinder the work, actually won them over as friends instead of foes. Strabo 16.4.7 . Ptolemais was only one of a series of such elephant hunting stations along the Red Sea coast of Africa, Adulis being perhaps originally another. The early Ptolemaic dynasty Ptolemies had seen the value of war elephant s by the military strength of the Seleucid dynasty Seleucids . Cut off from any possibility of acquiring Indian elephant s, they founded and actively sought to capture them from the neighboring regions of Africa . Although these animals helped in the Battle of Raphia , they proved unstable and the African elephant African species were intimidated by the Asian species, which led to the Egyptians eventually abandoning the use of these animals in war. Unlike most of the stations the Ptolemies established to the south of their kingdom, Ptolemais had enough fertile land immediately around it to sustain it as a town.
