		Byblos(βύβλος) is the Greek name of the Phoenician city Gebal (earlier Gubla); it was known to the ancient Egyptians as Keben and Kepen (probably pronounced */g-b-l/).
		The Greeks apparently called it Byblos because it was through Gebal that bublos (βύβλος ["Egyptian papyrus"]) was imported into Greece.
		Although it is still referred to as Byblos by scholars, the city is now known by the Arabic name Jubayl (جبيل), a direct descendant of the Canaanite name.
