Pathros
(region of the south), a part of Egypt, and a Mizraite tribe whose people were called Pathrusim. In the list of the Mizraites the Pathrusim occur after the Naphtuhim and before the Caluhim; the latter being followed by the notice of the Philistines and by the Caphtorim. Ge 10:13,14; 1Ch 1:12 Pathros is mentioned in the prophecies of Isaiah, Isa 11:11 Jeremiah Jer 44:1,15 and Ezekiel. Eze 29:14; 30:13-18 It was probably part or all of upper Egypt, and we may trace its name in the Pathyrite name, in which Thebes was situated.
