CYNO´POLIS

CYNO´POLIS (Κυνων πόλις, Steph. B. sub voce [p. 1.726]Ptol. 4.5.59: Eth. Κυνοπολίτης), a town in the Cynopolite nome of the Heptanomis, lat. 28° 2′ N. The dog-headed deity Anubis was here worshipped. (Strab. xvii. p.812.) It is probably the Canum of Pliny (Plin. Nat. 5.11). Cynopolis is the modern Samnallus. There was in the Delta also a town of this name, and with the same local deity. (Strab. xvii. p.802; Plut. de Is. et Osir. 100.72.)
