Pathros is Egyptian p't'--rs(y), "the Southland," in essence Upper Egypt, the long Nile valley extending north-south between Cairo and Aswan. Thus, the terms Mizraim for Egypt (Genesis 10:14; 1 Chronicles 1;12), especially Lower Egypt, Pathros for Upper Egypt and Cush for "Ethiopia (North Sudan) occur in this significantly geographical order both in a prophecy of Isaiah (11:11) and in a subsequent inscription of Esarhaddon, king of Assyria. Jeremiah similarly identifies Pathros with Egypt (Jeremiah 44:15) and specifically Upper Egypt as distinct from the cities (and land) of Lower Egypt (Jeremiah 44:1).
