An ancient city in southwestern Egypt near the Libyan border.
The people of Apis, and another city named Marea, believed that they were Libyans and not Egyptians; they wanted to be exempt from Egyptian religious law, in particular the law against eating the flesh of cows, so they asked the oracle at Ammon for a verdict on this matter and were told that they were Egyptians because they drank from the waters of the Nile river.
