Ринокорура (Ῥινοκούρουρα, Rhinokóroura, или Ῥινοκόλουρα, Rhinokóloura) или Риноколура (Ῥινοκόλουρα, Rhinokóloura) — название региона и связанных с ним городов и рек, лежащих между Древним Египтом и Землей Израиля. Название может относиться к:
Rhinocorura (, Rhinokóroura, or Ῥινοκούρουρα, Rhinokoúroura) or Rhinocolura (Ῥινοκόλουρα, Rhinokóloura) was the name of a region and associated town (or towns) and rivers lying between Ancient Egypt and the Land of Israel. The name may refer explicitly to:
Rhinocorura, a desert location on the border between Ancient Egypt and the Land of Israel mentioned by Strabo (Geographia XVI, 2, 31 32) and Diodorus Siculus (Historic Library Vol 1, Chap. 60). This appears to be the original usage of the name, which means "cut off noses" in Greek. Diodorus relates that it was founded by the Ethiopian king Actisanes as a place of exile for those found guilty of robbery whom he punished by cutting off their noses. Strabo's version of the story claims that it was settled by Ethiopians who had attempted to invade Egypt and were subsequently punished by having their noses cut off. It may be identical with the Egyptian border fortress Tjaru, to which officials, who had committed crimes, were banished after having their noses cut off. Rhinocorura, the "Brook of Egypt". Identified as the Pelusian branch of the Nile in ancient times the easternmost branch of the Nile, which subsequently ran dry. It was located roughly where the present Suez Canal lies. This usage of the term is found in the Septuagint translation of Isaiah 27:12. Presumably the locality mentioned by Strabo and Diodorus lay in its vicinity and gave its name to the river. Rhinocolura, the name of one or two (depending on interpretation), coastal towns mentioned by Pliny and Josephus. Pliny writes ambiguously: "and the two towns of Rhinocolura, inland Raphia, Gaza and inland Anthedon". (Pliny, Historia Naturalis, V,14.) Josephus mentions a coastal Rhinocolura near Gaza, Anthedon and Raphia. (Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, Book 13, 15:4; Book 24, 11:5). He also mentions Rhinocolura in connection with Pelusium (Antiquities of the Jews, Book 14, 14:2; The Jewish War, Book 1, 14). The coastal Rhinocolura (or one of them if there were two) is commonly identified with El Arish. It is uncertain if this is identical to the Rhinocorura of Strabo and Diodorus. Archaeologists have found no evidence of occupation prior to the Hellenistic period at El Arish. Rhinocolura or Rhinocorura, the Wadi El Arish. The drying up and disappearance of the Pelusian arm of the Nile led Biblical commentators to identify the Rhinocurara of the Septuagint (the "Brook of Egypt") with the Wadi El Arish which provides water to El Arish identified with the coastal Rhinocolura of Pliny and Josephus. Rhinocolura or Rhinocorura (Rhinocoruritanus), a Catholic titular see and suffragan of Pelusium representing the Sinai.

Ринокорура, пустынное место на границе между Древним Египтом и Землей Израиля, упомянутое Страбоном (Geographia XVI, 2, 31–32) и Диодором Сицилийским (Historic Library, Vol. 1, Chap. 60). По-видимому, это первоначальное употребление имени, которое по-гречески означает «отрезанные носы». Диодор сообщает, что город был основан эфиопским царем Актисаном как место ссылки для тех, кто был признан виновным в грабеже, и он наказывал их, отрезая носы. В версии Страбона говорится, что город был заселен эфиопами, которые пытались вторгнуться в Египет и впоследствии были наказаны отрезанием носов. Возможно, это то же самое, что и египетская пограничная крепость Тджару, куда ссылали чиновников, совершивших преступления, после отрезания им носов.

Ринокорура, «Египетский ручей». В древности это была самая восточная ветвь Нила, впоследствии высохшая. Она располагалась примерно на месте нынешнего Суэцкого канала. Такое употребление термина встречается в переводе Септуагинты в Книге Исаии, 27:12. Предположительно, местность, упомянутая Страбоном и Диодором, находилась вблизи него и дала название реке.

Rhinocolura, название одного или двух (в зависимости от интерпретации) прибрежных городов, упомянутых Плинием и Иосифом Флавием. Плиний пишет неоднозначно: «и два города Риноколура, внутренние Рафия, Газа и внутренний Антедон» (Плиний, Historia Naturalis, V, 14). Иосиф Флавий упоминает прибрежную Риноколуру возле Газы, Анфедона и Рафии (Иосиф Флавий, «Иудейские древности», Книга 13, 15:4; Книга 24, 11:5). Он также упоминает Риноколуру в связи с Пелузием («Иудейские древности», Книга 14, 14:2; «Иудейская война», Книга 1, 14). Прибрежный Rhinocolura (или один из них, если их было два) обычно отождествляется с Эль-Аришем. Неизвестно, идентична ли она Ринокоруре Страбона и Диодора. Археологи не обнаружили никаких свидетельств заселения Эль-Ариша до эллинистического периода.

The coastal Rhinocolura (or one of them if there were two) is commonly identified with El Arish. It is uncertain if this is identical to the Rhinocorura of Strabo and Diodorus. Archaeologists have found no evidence of occupation prior to the Hellenistic period at El Arish. Rhinocolura or Rhinocorura, the Wadi El Arish. The drying up and disappearance of the Pelusian arm of the Nile led Biblical commentators to identify the Rhinocurara of the Septuagint (the "Brook of Egypt") with the Wadi El Arish which provides water to El Arish identified with the coastal Rhinocolura of Pliny and Josephus. Rhinocolura or Rhinocorura (Rhinocoruritanus), a Catholic titular see and suffragan of Pelusium representing the Sinai.
Rhinocorura, a desert location on the border between Ancient Egypt and the Land of Israel mentioned by Strabo (Geographia XVI, 2, 31 32) and Diodorus Siculus (Historic Library Vol 1, Chap. 60). This appears to be the original usage of the name, which means "cut off noses" in Greek. Diodorus relates that it was founded by the Ethiopian king Actisanes as a place of exile for those found guilty of robbery whom he punished by cutting off their noses. Strabo's version of the story claims that it was settled by Ethiopians who had attempted to invade Egypt and were subsequently punished by having their noses cut off. It may be identical with the Egyptian border fortress Tjaru, to which officials, who had committed crimes, were banished after having their noses cut off. Rhinocorura, the "Brook of Egypt". Identified as the Pelusian branch of the Nile in ancient times the easternmost branch of the Nile, which subsequently ran dry. It was located roughly where the present Suez Canal lies. This usage of the term is found in the Septuagint translation of Isaiah 27:12. Presumably the locality mentioned by Strabo and Diodorus lay in its vicinity and gave its name to the river. Rhinocolura, the name of one or two (depending on interpretation), coastal towns mentioned by Pliny and Josephus. Pliny writes ambiguously: "and the two towns of Rhinocolura, inland Raphia, Gaza and inland Anthedon". (Pliny, Historia Naturalis, V,14.) Josephus mentions a coastal Rhinocolura near Gaza, Anthedon and Raphia. (Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, Book 13, 15:4; Book 24, 11:5). He also mentions Rhinocolura in connection with Pelusium (Antiquities of the Jews, Book 14, 14:2; The Jewish War, Book 1, 14).
