Delas (Arabic: دلاص, Coptic: ϯⲗⲟϫ, ⲧⲉⲗⲁϫ, romanized: Tiloj, Telaj, from Ancient Egyptian: Tȝ-lḏ) is a city in Beni Suef Governorate of Egypt, situated on the left bank of the Nile.

This fluctuation between independence and integration continued into the 6th century, with Nilopolis maintaining considerable economic and administrative significance.

During the 5th and 6th centuries, its economic strength was evident in corn production and trade, comparable to the neighboring Herakleopolite and Oxyrhynchite nomes.

By the 14th century, despite its decline from raids by Berber Luwatah tribe and a reduced population, as noted by al-Idrisi, remained significant, paying 20,000 dinars in taxes and encompassing a large area of land.

[3] In the khedival period, Delas was a part of the moudirieh of Beni-Suef in the district of El-Zaouiet, and had about 2500 inhabitants of whom nearly 1000 were nomadic Bedouins.
