syenitic

Rfv-sense "Pertaining to Syene (modern Aswan)"; if it can even be cited, I assume such cites would be of Syenitic (as Eq. pointed out). —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 16:57, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

There are some citations of "Syenitic granite" where Syene is mentioned in close proximity and I can't be sure if it's using sense 1 or sense 2. In this citation, it seems to mean both:

• 1884, James King, Cleopartra's Needle: a history of the London Obelisk, page 36:

  Seven hundred miles up the Nile beyond Cairo, on the frontiers of Nubia, is the town of Syene or Assouan. In the neighbourhood are the renowned quarries of red granite called Syenite or Syenitic stone.

I can't find anything where it unambiguously means sense 2 and not sense 1. - -sche (discuss) 07:38, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
