What is Pathros?
PATH'ROS
(region of the south), a district of Egypt near Thebes; named, as some suppose, from a town called Ha-hathor, or "the abode of Hathor," the Egyptian Venus. Originally it was ruled by its own kings, independent of Egypt. It was probably the Thebaid of the Greeks and the Said of the Arabs. The country is mentioned in the Prophets, and nearly always in connection with Egypt. Isa 11:11; Isa 19:11-13; Jer 44:1-15; Eze 29:14. Its inhabitants were known as the Pathrusim, the descendants of Ham through Mizraim. Gen 10:14; 1 Chr 1:12.
