Πανὸς πόλις, [πόλις] Αἰγυπτία. ἔστι δὲ καὶ τοῦ θεοῦ ἄγαλμα μέγα ὠρθιακὸς τὸ αἰδοῖον εἰς ἑπτὰ δακτύλους, ἐπαίρει τε μάστιγας τῇ δεξιᾷ Σελήνην, ἧς εἴδωλόν φασιν εἶναι τὸν Πᾶνα. ὁ πολίτης Πανοπολίτης.

Panos polis: an Egyptian city. There is also a large statue of the god, with its member erect to a length of seven fingers; it raises whips in its right hand [...] the Moon, whose image they say Pan is. A citizen is a 'Panopolites'.

Etymologies

CategoryExplanation
Unclear Metalinguistic“City of Pan,” an Egyptian [city]. The name explicitly associates the city with the god Pan, but the text does not state whether this is an eponymous naming or otherwise explain the formation of the name.
Unclear Metalinguistic“They say that Pan is an image/representation of her [the Moon].” This explains an alleged religious identification of Pan with the Moon, not the origin of the place name.
