El Hiba (alt. el-Hibeh; Arabic الحيبة al-Ḥībah) is the modern name of the ancient Egyptian city of Tayu-djayet (t3yw-ḏ3yt), an ancient nickname meaning "their walls" in reference to the massive enclosure walls built on the site.[1] In Coptic, it was known as ⲧⲉⲩϫⲟ Teujo, and during the Graeco-Roman period it was called Ἀγκυρῶν πόλις and Ancyronpolis. In antiquity, the city was located in the 18th Upper Egyptian nome, and today it is found in the Bani Suwayf governorate.
