Athar an Nabi ( ãëñ çÃÂÃÂèà) is a town in Egypt, about 4 miles (7 km) south of Cairo. Its name is Arabic for "Effect (or Footprints) of the Prophet", but is an altered form of Coptic éâ²Ââ²Âⲱⲣâ²Ââ²ÂⲩⲠ(Hathornub), meaning "Golden Hathor", perhaps referring to an Ancient Egyptian cult centre formerly present there.
