Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

פִּי־בֶסֶת Ezekiel 30:17 (in some copies in one word, which is the better reading), [Pi-beseth], pr.n. of a town in Lower Egypt, on the eastern side of the pelusiac branch of the Nile; Gr. Βουβαστός and Βούβαστις (Herod. 2:59. Strabo x. p. 553); so called from Bubastis, an Egyptian goddess, who was compared to Diana by Herodotus (Herod. ii. 137, 156). Written in Egyptian ⲡⲟⲩⲃⲁⲥϯ, which denotes a cat, according to Steph. Byz. It ought more correctly to be regarded as the proper name of a deity, which was worshipped under the form of a cat. Malus describes the ruins of the ancient city discovered by himself, in Descr. de l’Egypte, Etat Moderne, Livr. iii. p. 307; compare Jablonski Opuscc. t. i. p. 53; Panth. ii. 56, seqq.; Quatremère, Memoires sur l’Egypte, i. p. 98; Champollion, L’Egypte sous les Pharaons, ii. p. 63.
