CHRISTOPHER BARON

University of Notre Dame

An administrative district or nome (Greek νομός, Egyptian sp ͗˒t [sepat]) of ancient EGYPT. Herodotus lists Aphthis as one source of men for the CALASIRIES, a group within the Egyptian warrior class (2.166.1). Herodotus’ list does not map exactly onto other ancient evidence for nomes, but Aphthis was probably located in the northeast portion of the Nile DELTA near TANIS.
