Tasdri

Atfih (Miller) · Memphites Nomos (Barrington)

Tasdri belongs somewhere in the district of Memphis, though its exact site is unknown. One suggestion links it with Nasciri in the Ravenna list and reads that as a shrine of Osiris. Strabo describes a sanctuary of Osiris near Memphis, which has been tied to the town of Akanthos, a hundred and twenty stadia from Memphis according to Diodorus. If that holds, the map gives the area around Memphis and the great burial ground of Saqqara a fairly prominent place. Several older printed copies of the map leave the name out altogether.
