 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.)
