Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 2. 11 (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.) :
"Belos remained to become king of Aigyptos (Egypt), and married Neilos' (the River Nile's) daughter Ankhinoe, who gave him twin sons, Aigyptos and Danaus, to whom Euripides [tragedian C5th B.C.] adds Kepheus (Cepheus) and Phineus."
