Athribis (Arabic: أتريب; Greek: Ἄθριβις,[3] from the original Egyptian Hut-heryib, Coptic: Ⲁⲑⲣⲏⲃⲓ[4]) was an ancient city in Lower Egypt. It is located in present-day Tell Atrib, just northeast of Benha on the hill of Kom Sidi Yusuf. The town lies around 40 km north of Cairo, on the eastern bank of the Damietta branch of the Nile. It was mainly occupied during the Ptolemaic, Roman, and Byzantine eras.[5]
