Gen. x. 6.PHUT, or Phuth, the third Son of Ham. We believe he peopled, either the Canton of Phtemphu, Phtemphuti, or Phtembuti, set down in Pliny and Ptolemy, whose Capital was Thara in Lower Egypt, inclining towards Lybia; or the Canton call’d Phtenotes, of which Buthus was the Capital. The Prophets often speak of Jerem. xlvi. 9.Phut. In the Time of Jeremiah, Phut was under the Obedience of Necho King of Nahum iii. 9.Egypt. Nahum reckons up this People in the Number of those who ought to have come to the Assistance of No-ammon or Diospolis. See the Commentary upon Genesis x. 6.
