chained_bear commented on the word Wadi Menih
"During the course of one such crossing a returnee from the Indian voyage carved graffiti that may still be read on the walls of the Wadi Menih: 'C. Numidius Eros made this in the 38th year of Caesar's {Augustus's} rule, returning from India in the month of Pamenoth.' In modern terms the year was 2 BC, the month of February or March, precisely the time when the fleets were expected back on the winds of the winter monsoon."
