PATROS, mentioned by Jeremiah and Ezekiel, appears from the context to be meant of a part of Egypt. Bocchart thinks it denotes the Higher Egypt: the Septuagint translate it the country of Pathures; in Pliny we have the Novos Phaturites in the Thebais; in Ptolemy, Pathyris, probably the metropolis. From the Hebrew appellation Patros comes the gentilicious name Pathrusinus, Moses.
