Aphrodites Nomos

APHRODITOPOLIS (Ancient city) EGYPT
Aphthites nomos (ho Aphthites nomos), a nomos of Lower Egypt, in the Delta, mentioned by Herodotus, between those of Bubastis and Tanis; but neither he nor any other writer mentions such a city as Aphthis. The name seems to point to a chief seat of the worship of Phthah, the Egyptian Hephaestus. (Herod. ii. 166.)
