中文注释：
穆斯林们在亚历山大港火车站跪着虔诚地祈祷。他们表现了对这个古老城市强烈的回忆和罕见的一致性。尽管被罗马统治，世纪初的亚历山大人还是崇拜埃及神，希腊神和罗马神的混合体，塞拉皮斯是其中主要的一个。

英文注释：
Alexandria, Egypt, Train Station Prayer, 1999
"Kneeling in reverent prayer at Alexandria's train station, Muslims display a fervor reminiscent of the ancient city—but a uniformity that would have been rare. Though ruled by Rome, first-century Alexandrians worshipped a blend of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman deities, the composite god Serapis chief among them."

—From "Tale of Three Cities," August 1999, National Geographic magazine
