    In Isaiah 11:11 the proper noun stands in a list of places from which a remnant is recovered; the APB renders the list with “from Pathros.” In Jeremiah 44:1 and Jeremiah 44:15 it locates people dwelling in Egypt, while Ezekiel 29:14 and Ezekiel 30:14 place restoration to its land and desolation of the place in view.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name directly as “Pathros” in each occurrence, including a land of return, a place made desolate, a source-region list, and statements about people dwelling there. These renderings confirm the verse-level place reference rather than a finer lexical nuance.
