Dominant Phyrgian is fine too. That tells you that the scale is phyrgian, except that it forms a dominant 7th chord, and that's exactly it.

It inherits its 3rd, 5th, and 7th from the E7 chord. G#, B, D are tones that it must contain to be dominant. It inherits other scale tones from E Phyrgian. That would be the b9, 4, and b6 (F, A, C). Put it together and you have E, F, G#, A, B, C, D.

3 ways to get at one scale? Yeah, it's like looking at a building. You can see it from the front, either side, or the back, and it's the same building, though each view looks different.
