From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Tahapanes
     =Tahpanhes=Tehaphnehes, (called "Daphne" by the Greeks, now Tell
     Defenneh), an ancient Egyptian city, on the Tanitic branch of
     the Nile, about 16 miles from Pelusium. The Jews from Jerusalem
     fled to this place after the death of Gedaliah (q.v.), and
     settled there for a time (Jer. 2:16; 43:7; 44:1; 46:14). A


     platform of brick-work, which there is every reason to believe
     was the pavement at the entry of Pharaoh's palace, has been
     discovered at this place. "Here," says the discoverer, Mr.
     Petrie, "the ceremony described by Jeremiah [43:8-10;
     "brick-kiln", i.e., pavement of brick] took place before the
     chiefs of the fugitives assembled on the platform, and here
     Nebuchadnezzar spread his royal pavilion" (R.V., "brickwork").
