ΑΝΘΥΛΛΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΙΓΥΠΤΟΣ
Anthylla (Anthulla, Herod. ii. 97; Antulla, Athen. i. p. 33; Steph.
B. s. v.: Eth. Anthullaios), was a considerable town upon the Canobic branch of
the Nile, a few miles SE. of Alexandreia. Its revenues were assigned by the Persian
kings of Egypt to their queens, to provide them, Herodotus says, with sandals;
Athenaeus says, with girdles. From this usage, Anthylla is believed by some geographers
to be the same city as Gynaecopolis, which, however, was further to the south
than Anthylla. (Mannert, Geogr. der Gr. und Rom. vol. x. p. 596.) Athenaeus commends
the wine of Anthylla as the best produced by Egyptian vineyards.
