Pathros is a region of Upper Egypt, its name a Hebrew form of an Egyptian term meaning “the South land.” It is named once in the Book of Mormon, in Nephi’s quotation of Isaiah, among the lands from which the Lord will recover the remnant of his people a second time: Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the islands of the sea (2 Nephi 21:11). The record gives no further detail about the place itself.
