Coptos

（Κοπτός). A city of the Thebaïs or Upper Egypt, lying a little to the east of the Nile, some distance below Thebes. Under the Ptolemies it occupied an important commercial position. In 1894 excavations conducted on its site by Mr. Petrie brought to light many valuable remains of the earliest Egyptian art.
