Kellis
Sign in to savethumb|Ancient Kellis Ancient Kellis, now known as Ismant el-Kharab ('Ismant the ruined' in Arabic), was a village in Upper Egypt during the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods. It was located about east-southeast of present-day Ismant in the Dakhleh Oasis, and about northeast of Mut (more fully Mut el-Kharab), which is the capital of the oasis. In ancient times, Mut was called Mothis, and thus Kellis was in the Mothite nome.

L'antica Kellis, oggi nota come Ismant el-Kharab (Ismant la rovinata), era un villaggio dell'Alto Egitto durante il periodo romano. Si trovava circa 2,5 km a est-sudest dell'attuale Ismant, nell'oasi di Dakhla, e circa 11 km a nordest di Mut el-Kharab, capitale dell'oasi. In tempi antichi Mut veniva chiamata Mothis, e quindi Kellis si trovava nel nome Mothite.
