Ὦφθις, πόλις Λιβύης Αἰγύπτῳ παρακειμένη. ὁ πολίτης Ὠφθίτης, διὰ τὴν εἰς « ιτης » κατάληξιν τὴν εἰθισμένην Αἰγυπτίοις τε καὶ Λίβυσι· τὸ μέντοι Ὠφθίς κατὰ χρῆσιν οὔπω τέως εὗρον.

Ophthis: a city in Libya lying beside Egypt. A citizen is an 'Ophthites', because of the ending in '-ites' customary among Egyptians and Libyans. The form Ὠφθίς, however, I have not yet found in common usage.
