From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Naphtuhim
     a Hamitic tribe descended from Mizraim (Gen. 10:13). Others
     identify this word with Napata, the name of the city and
     territory on the southern frontier of Mizraim, the modern Meroe,
     at the great bend of the Nile at Soudan. This city was the royal
     residence, it is said, of Queen Candace (Acts 8:27). Here there


     are extensive and splendid ruins.
