HERMOPOLIS. There is no mention of this City in the canonical books of Scripture; but some Authors of good antiquity1 say, that Jesus Christ retired to this City, when he came into Egypt with Joseph; and that when he went into a Temple at Hermopolis, all the Idols fell to the ground, and were broke in pieces. But the little time our Saviour staid in Egypt, seems not to allow of his going so far into the Thebaïs.
