Open translation for this passage
ἤκουσα δὲ καὶ ὡς οὐχ ἡ Ἐρυθρά, ποταμὸς δὲ ὃν Σῆρα ὀνομάζουσιν, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ποιῶν νῆσον αὐτήν, ὥσπερ καὶ Αἰγύπτου τὸ Δέλτα ὑπὸ τοῦ Νείλου καὶ οὐχ ὑπὸ μιᾶς περιέχεσθαι θαλάσσης·
The sentence has an elided/compressed construction after ὡς: ἡ Ἐρυθρά is the subject of an understood/continued περιέχεσθαι, while ποταμός ... οὗτός is an explanatory relative clause identifying the river; ὥσπερ introduces the comparison with the Delta. The exact scope of οὐχ and the coordination with the final infinitive are somewhat compressed.
