Geschichte
Kainepolis or Caenepolis, also called Caene or Kaine (Καινή), was a town of ancient Egypt. It was the southernmost town of the Panopolite nome in the Thebaid of Egypt. It stood upon the eastern bank of the Nile, 2 miles (3.2 km) northwest of Coptos. Herodotus mentions a town Neapolis, near Chemmis in Upper Egypt, which is probably the same with Caenepolis. The town later bore the name Maximianopolis. Panopolis, which was north of Chemmis, at one period went by the name of Caene or Caenepolis.
