Tarrana (Arabic: الطرانة Aṭ-Ṭarrānah,[1] Coptic: ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲟⲩⲑⲓ Terenouthi[2]), known in classical antiquity as Terenuthis (Ancient Greek: Τερενοῦθις), is a town in Monufia Governorate of Egypt. It is located in the western Nile Delta, circa 70 km north-west of Cairo, between the southern prehistoric site of Merimde Beni-salame and the northern town of Kom el-Hisn.[3] The ruins of ancient Terenuthis are found at Kom Abu Billo, northwest of the modern city.
