Athribis (Ancient Greek: Ἄθλιβις; Coptic: ⲁⲧⲣⲉⲡⲉ or ⲁⲑⲣⲏⲃⲓ), also known to the ancient Greeks as Triphieion or Tripheion, and to the ancient Egyptians as Hut-Repyt, was an ancient city of Egypt, in the Panopolite nome. The modern villages of Wannina and Nag' Hamad in the Sohag Governorate are situated nearby. It is located some 10 km (6 mi) southwest of the city of Akhmim and about 3 km (2 mi) south of the White Monastery, on the west bank of the Nile.
