Adule, or ADULIS, an ancient town of Æthiopia, on the Red Sea, or what is now Annesley Bay. It afterwards had some importance as the port of Axum. On its site is the modern village of Zulla. Here was found in the 6th century the Monumentum Adulitanum, a Greek inscription of the conquests of Ptolemy II. Euergetes.
