Ναπάται, πόλις Λιβύης πρὸς τῇ Αἰθιοπίᾳ. τὸ ἐθνικὸν ἔδει Ναπατίτης. ἔστι δὲ Ναπαταῖος, ὡς Ἀλέξανδρος ἐν πρώτῳ Αἰγυπτιακῶν.

Napatae: a city of Libya, near Ethiopia. The ethnicon ought to be *Napatitēs* (“Napatite”). But *Napataios* also occurs, as (attested by) Alexander in book 1 of the *Aigyptiaka*.

Herodian

… Λητοῦς ἱεροῦ. Διαβήτη νῆσος δυσμικωτέρα Σαρδοῦς καὶ Κύρνου. εἰσὶ καὶ Διαβῆται νῆσοι περὶ Σύμην. Ὑπάτη πόλις Αἰνιάνων. λέγεται δὲ καὶ Ὕπατα. ἔστι καὶ χώρα πλησίον Σαγγάρου ποταμοῦ. Ἰωταπάτη πόλις Συρίας, ἣ καὶ Ἰωτάπατα. Ναπάται πόλις Λιβύης. πρὸς τῇ Αἰθιοπίᾳ. τὸ δὲ Βατή ἐπὶ τοῦ δήμου τῆς Αἰγηΐδος φυλῆς ὀξύνεται, τὸ δὲ βάτη ἡ γῆ παρὰ Μεσσηνίοις βαρύνεται.
