14. Pathros —the Thebaid, or Upper Egypt, which had been especially harassed by Nebuchadnezzar ( Nahum 3:8 ; Nahum 3:10 ). The oldest part of Egypt as to civilization and art. The Thebaid was anciently called "Egypt" [ARISTOTLE]. Therefore it is called the "land of the Egyptians' birth " ( Margin, for "habitation"). base kingdom —Under Amasis it was made dependent on Babylon; humbled still more under Cambyses; and though somewhat raised under the Ptolemies, never has it regained its ancient pre-eminence. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-16" class="com-number"
