PATHROS, a city and canton of Egypt, of which
the prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel make mention; Jerem. xlv. 1. 15. Ezek. xxix. 14. xxx. 14. We do
not very well know its situation, though Pliny and
Ptolemy the geographer speak of it by the name of
Phaturis; and it appears to have been in Upper Egypt.
Isaiah (xii. 2.) calls it Pathros; and it is the country
of the Patrusim, the posterity of Mizraim, of whom
Moses speaks, Gen. x. 14. Ezekiel threatens them
with an entire ruin. The Jews retired thither notwith-
standing the remonstrances of Jeremiah; and the Lord
says by Isaiah, that he will bring them back from
thence.
