Sheten or Šetennu, also known by the Greco-Roman name of Pharbaethus or Pharbaetus (Φαρβαϊθίτης), was a town in the Nile Delta, capital of the nome of Pharbaethites/Lapt in Lower Egypt.〔Karl Baedeker, ''Egypt: handbook for travellers : part first, lower Egypt...'', 1885 (2nd edition), p. 33. (full text )〕〔Eugène Revillout, "Acte de fondation d'une chapelle à Hor-Merti dans la ville de Pharbaetus", ''Revue Égyptologique'', 2:1:32 (1881) (full text )〕 It is referred to in a stele of the 7th century BC,〔 and described by Herodotus,〔II, 166.〕 Strabo,〔XVII, i, 20.〕 and Pliny.〔''Natural History'' V, 9, 11.〕 The Greco-Roman name of Pharbaetus comes from the Egyptian ''p'' 'the' + ''Hor abot'', a popular name for ''Hor-mer'' (Horus of two eyes).〔 This name is reproduced under the form Karbeuthos in George of Cyprus.〔"Descriptio orbis romani", ed. Gelzer, 706.〕 ==Ecclesiastical history== The original diocese was a suffragan of Leontopolis, in Augustamnica Secunda, Egypt. There is a record of Bishop Arbetion at Nicæa in 325,〔Gelzer, "Patrum nicænorum nomina", LX.〕 and Bishop Theodorus in 1086,〔Renaudot, "Historia patriarcharum alexandrinorum", 458.〕 but it is possible that the latter was bishop of another Pharbætus situated further to the west, and which according to Vansleb was equally a Coptic see. John of Nikiu〔Chronicle, CV.〕 relates that under the Emperor Phocas (602-10) the clerics of the province killed the Greek governor Theophilus. It remains a Roman Catholic titular see under the name Pharbaetus. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pharbaetus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
