Pathros: The name generally given to Upper Egypt (the Thebaid of the Greeks),
as distinguished from Matsor, or Lower Egypt
(Isaiah 11:11; Jeremiah 44:1,15)
(Ezekiel 30:14) the two forming Mizraim. After the destruction of Jerusalem
by Nebuchadnezzar, colonies of Jews settled "in the country of
Pathros" and other parts of Egypt.
