Menelai Portus

LIMIN MENELAOU (Ancient city) KYRINAIKI
  Menelai Portus (Menelaios limen, Herod. iv. 169), a harbour of Marmarica, situated to the W. of Paraetonium (Strab. i. p. 40, xvii. p. 838), and a day's voyage from Petras. (Scylax, 107, d.) Here, according to legend, the hero Menelaus landed (Herod. ii. 119); and it was the place where Agesilaus died in his march from the Nile to Cyrene, B.C. 361. (Corn. Nep. Ages. 8.) Its position must be sought on the coast of the Wady Daphneh, near the Ras-al-Milhr. (Pacho, Voyage dans la Marmaique, p. 47.)
