Semenood is the place of Sesostris the Great, The Egyptian Hercules. Who is the Egyptian Hercules?
SESOSTRIS THE GREAT, THE EGYPTIAN HERCULES
http://www.africaresource.com/rasta/sesostris-the-great-the-egyptian-hercules/sesostris-the-great-the-egyptian-hercules/
"Semenood is a place of some size, with the usual bazáars of the large towns of Egypt, and famous for its pottery, which is sent to Cairo. it is in latitude 30° 58' 45". Here are the mounds of Sebennytus, the city of Sem, Gem, or Gom, The Egyptian Hercules. In Coptic it is called Gemnouti, (Ϫ Coptic symbols), which implies "Gem of God," and shows the origin of the present as well as the orthography of the ancient name; and it is remarkable that the name of the god begins with the word noute in many legends."

The article equates the Sebennytic branch that the city was located on with the modern Damietta branch. However, comparing between these two maps where the right branch is the Damietta branch:
The Damietta branch corresponds to the ancient Phatnitic branch, not the Sebennytic.
A quick search online for other sources seems to affirm that this is an error.

A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography, Volume 2 (1873) – William Smith instead suggests that the Damietta branch corresponds to the Sebennytic branch up until the city of Sebennytos where it then corresponds to the course of the ancient Phatnitic branch. However, the two maps above seem to indicate that the Phatnitic branch followed the exact course of the modern-day Damietta branch and is 100% identical to it.
So is there an error in this article? Or is it more complicated and needs some clarification? Sol Pacificus ( talk) 20:49, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
