<p> (Ε᾿πιφί , 3 [[Maccabees]] 6:38), the name of the eleventh month of the [[Egyptian]] | <p> (Ε᾿πιφί , 3 [[Maccabees]] 6:38), the name of the eleventh month of the [[Egyptian]] Vague year, and the [[Alexandrian]] or Egyptian Julian year: Copt. epep; Arab. apib. Its beginning corresponds with the 25th of June in the Julian calendar (Ideler, Handb. d. Chronol. 1:98, 144). In ancient Egyptian it is called "the third month [of] the season of the waters." (See [[Egypt]]). The name [[Epiphi]] is derived from that of the goddess of the month, Apap-t (Lepsius, Chron. d. Eg. 1:141). The supposed derivation of the [[Hebrew]] month-name [[Abib]] from Epiphi is discussed in other articles. (See [[Month]]). </p> | ||
