  Noph
     the Hebrew name of an Egyptian city (Isa. 19:13; Jer.2:16; 44:1;
     46:14, 19; Ezek. 30:13, 16). In Hos. 9:6 the Hebrew name is
     Moph, and is translated "Memphis," which is its Greek and Latin
     form. It was one of the most ancient and important cities of
     Egypt, and stood a little to the south of the modern Cairo, on


     the western bank of the Nile. It was the capital of Lower Egypt.
     Among the ruins found at this place is a colossal statue of
     Rameses the Great. (See {MEMPHIS}.)
