'''Berenice Panchrysos''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: {{polytonic|Βερενίκη Πάνχρυσος}}, [[Stephanus of Byzantium|Steph. B.]], ''s. v.''; [[Strabo]] xvi. 771), was an ancient port city of [[ancient Egypt]], near [[Sabae]] in the [[Regio Troglodytica]], on the west coast of the [[Red Sea]], between the 20th and 21st degrees of North latitude, in modern-day [[Sudan]]. It obtained the appellation of all-golden (Panchrysos) from its vicinity to the gold mines of [[Jebel Allaki]] (Jebel Ollaki), from which the ancient Egyptians drew their principal supplies of that metal, and in the working of which they employed criminals and prisoners of war.

Berenice Panchrysos (Ancient Greek: Βερενίκη Πάνχρυσος, Steph. B., s. v.; Strabo xvi. 771), was an ancient town of ancient Egypt, near Sabae in the Regio Troglodytica, on the west coast of the Red Sea, between the 20th and 21st degrees of North latitude, in modern-day Sudan.
It obtained the appellation of all-golden (Panchrysos) from its vicinity to the gold mines of Jebel Allaqi (Jebel Ollaki), from which the ancient Egyptians drew their principal supplies of that metal, and in the working of which they employed criminals and prisoners of war. (Plin. vi. 34.)
