Road station

Anami

bei Anlad Yehia

Anami is hard to read: the ink has faded badly and the letters are crammed together, and older copies offer Anami or Ananu. A closer look suggests Ananti, which would make the station Antaiopolis, listed by Ptolemy just before Panopolis, a district capital whose coins under Trajan and Hadrian showed its god Antaios. If so, the map has swapped it with Panopolis, and it sets both, together with Chenoboskion, wrongly on the west bank of the Nile.
