'' | <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> | ||
