This article describes fieldwork undertaken in 1972 at the harbour of the Hellenistic city of Ptolemais at Tolmeita in Cyrenaica, Libya. This survey has shown that the city possessed a sophisticated Hellenistic harbour installation, now submerged by some 2 m. It consisted of a small fishing harbour and a larger commercial harbour protected by extensive stone breakwaters built around two offshore islands. Between the harbours, remains were found under water of an extensive block-built quay connected to one island, where there was a system of submerged rock-cut tanks. These are interpreted as the foundations of a fish-processing factory. Changes in sea-level are also discussed.

托勒迈斯港口：利比亚蓬塔波利斯的希腊化城市

本文介绍了1972年在利比亚Cyrenaica的Tolmeita的希腊化城市Ptolemais港口进行的野外工作。这项调查显示，该城市拥有复杂的希腊化海港设施，现在淹没了约2 m。它由一个小的渔港和一个较大的商业港组成，这些商业港由围绕两个离岸岛屿建造的大量石质防波堤保护。在海港之间，在一个与一个岛相连的，由大块砌筑的码头的水下发现了遗骸，那里有一个被淹没的切石坦克系统。这些被解释为鱼类加工厂的基础。还讨论了海平面的变化。
