BUTO
BUTO. Greek name for the Egyptian twin cities of Pe and Dep, also
known as Per-Wadjet, modern Tell el-Farain. Ancient capital city of
Lower Egypt whose principal deity was the cobra goddess Wadjet.
Some remains can be traced from the Predynastic Period until Roman
occupation. The site was briefly examined by Flinders Petrie in
1886 and excavated by Charles Currelly in 1904 and Veronica Seton-
Williams for the Egypt Exploration Society from 1964–1968 but
has since been examined more extensively by an Egyptian expedition
and a German expedition since 1985.
