PI-BESETH . Ezekiel 30:17 : Bubastis, one of the greatest cities in Lower Egypt; Egyp. Pubasti , ‘House of Ubasti’; It was especially the residence of the 22nd Dyn., which was founded by Shishak. The goddess Uhasti was usually figured with a lion’s head, but she was of a mild character, and her sacred animal in late times was the cat. The ruins of the city are now called Tell Basta , lying near Zagazig, in the E. of the Delta. The temple described by Herodotus was excavated by Naville, yielding monuments of every period from the 4th Dynasty to the 30th.
