History
Apis, was an ancient seaport town on the north coast of Africa, about 18 km west of Paraetonium, sometimes considered located within Egypt, and sometimes in Marmarica. Scylax places it at the western boundary of Egypt, on the frontier of the Marmaridae. Ptolemy mentions it as in the Libyae Nomos; and so does Pliny the Elder, who calls it nobilis religione Aegypti locus.
