Horbit (Template:Langx) is a town in Sharqia Governorate of Egypt.
It's an ancient town referred to in a stele of the 7th century BC,[1] and described by Herodotus,[2] Strabo,[3] and Pliny.[4]
It served as the capital of the nome of Pharbaethites/Lapt in Lower Egypt.[5][1]
Etymology
The town's Arabic name comes from Coptic Pharbait (Template:Langx), which in turn is derived from Template:Langx.[6] It was also known as Sheten (Template:Langx).[7]
In Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt it was known as Pharbaithos (Template:Langx) or Pharbaethus. This name is reproduced under the form Karbeuthos in George of Cyprus.[8]
Ecclesiastical history
The original diocese was a suffragan of Leontopolis, in Augustamnica Secunda, Egypt.
There is a record of Bishop Arbetion at Nicæa in 325,[9] and Bishop Theodorus in 1086,[10] but it is possible that the latter was bishop of another Pharbætus situated further to the west, and which according to Vansleb was equally a Coptic see. John of Nikiu[11] relates that under the Emperor Phocas (602–10) the clerics of the province killed the Greek governor Theophilus.
It remains a Roman Catholic titular see under the name Pharbaetus.
