Byblos, in modern Lebanon, got its start as a Phoenician city around 5000 years ago and archaeology shows settlements existed even earlier. We know it traded with the Middle Kingdom and the English word for “bible” derives from “Byblos” because so much papyrus was imported through this city to the ancient Middle East. -- source link
