Thmuis (/ˈθmjuː.ɨs/; Greek: Θμοῦις; Arabic: Tell El-Timai‎) is a city of Lower Egypt, on the canal east of the Nile, between its Tanitic and Mendesian branches. In Greco-Roman Egypt, Thmuis replaced Djedet as the capital of Lower Egypt's 16th nome of Kha [ Herodotus (II, 166) ]. The two cities are only several hundred meters apart. Ptolemy also states that the city was the capital of the Mendesian nome.
