Into the land of Pathros. (For the land of their habitation, read, with the Revised Version, the land of their birth.) (For Pathres, see Genesis 10:13, Genesis 10:14; 1 Chronicles 1:12; Isaiah 11:1; Jeremiah 44:1.

) Its position is somewhat doubtful, but the balance of evidence is in favor of placing it in the Thebaid of Upper Egypt, which Herodotus (2. 4, 15) describes as the original seat of the Egyptian monarchy.

Its name may be connected with the Pathyrite name in which Thebes was situated (Pliny, 'Hist. Nat.,' Ezekiel 5:9). The LXX. gives the form Pathures, and is followed by the Vulgate, with a slight change, Phathures.
