NEPHI. This is the Name that several Writers give to that Place, where Nehemiah found the muddy Water, which was in the Pit where the holy Fire had been hidden, 2 Macc. i. 36. But Copies vary concerning the Word Nephi. The Syriack and Greek of the Roman Edition read Naphtai, the Alexandrian Manuscript, and other Greek Copies, read Nephtar.
