THE TEMPLE OF DENDUR.
PART I.
district, and is biiilt almost against the face of the low cliff that marks the edge
of the high désert. In the cliff, just behind the temple, is a small excavated
chamber with a basin in the iloor. It had a doorway of dressed stone with a
comice of the usual Egyptian pattern. In front of this chamber ihere was a small
court or anteroom of which only the lower parts of the walls remain. Rifaud
(^Voyage en Egypte el en Naine, p. iba), in bis plan of Dendùr temple, makes
the w ails join on to the west wall of the sanctuarv, and in Quatremère de Quincy
(^U Architecture égyptienne, PL 17, fig. 67) we see a pylon-like construction in
front of the rock-chamber. Something like the latter appears as a restoration in
Gau (PI. 2 5), but his plan and view from the south-east (PI. 28) give no
indication whatever of the walls having originally extended as far as the west end
of the sanctuary, and there are certainly no traces of this at the présent time.
Gau's view shows that the walls were higher in his day than they are now, and
possibly his restoration of a small anteroom with a cornice is a correct one. This
building formed, perhaps, the original shrine, and was replaced later by the
Augustan temple (Pis. I and XCII, 2). It is to be noted that the rock-chamber
is not in the axis of the temple, though it is represented as being so in most of
the plans. Gau's'"', however, is quite accurate in this as in every other respect.
The entrance lies exactiy behind a hollow place in the back wall of the sanctuary,
part of which is behind the stela representing Petêsi and Pihôr adoring Osiris and
Isis (see PI. LXXIV). The hollow is mentioned by Horeau [Panorama (ïEgypte el
de Nubie, p. ag), and is shewn in his plan, and in those of Prisse, Rifaud and
''' Gau, Antiquités de la Nubie, pi. aS; reproduced in Maspero, Les Temples immergés de la Nubie,
Gau. It lias now uiifortiinately been filled witli rubble and cément. Its position
suggesls tliat it may hâve been connected with the giving of oracles?
The main building, about i3 1/3 mètres long and 7 mètres broad. consisls
of three rooms, the Pronaos, Antechamber, and Sanctuary, the rool's of the two
former rooms being intact (PI. I). Before it at a distance of about 10 mètres
stood the Pylon of which only the stone doorway now remains. The towers, which
were probably of crude brick, hâve long since disappeared. The distinguishing
feature is the Terrace (Pis. I and IX) which is erected in front of the temple
and pylon, and overlooks the river. It is aB mètres long and i5 mètres broad
and on its eastern face rises to the height of 3 1/9 mètres, the norlli and south
sides merging in the rising ground behind. Such a terrace seems lo be characte-
ristic of the temples in this région, occurring also at Kalabsha, Ajùala (Abu Ilor),
and Dabod''^ On either side of the temple, north and south, lie the remains of
the ancient town. The bouses seem to hâve been built of undressed stones wilh
mud plastering, as is so often the case in the modem Nubian villages. The
(juarries, that supplied the building material for the temple, are situated in the
clilf behind it. They also are half buried beneath the débris of the fallen bouses
which once clambered up the slope in picturesque disorder, and fringed the
edge of the high désert. Mixed up with thèse ruins are heaps of pot-sherds of the
Romano-Nubian and Goptic periods; some of the former being of the fine buff
ware found bv Dr. Puindall-Maclver and Mr. ^^ oollev at Areika and Aniba.
The Temple of Dendùr, the Tutzis of the Itineraries, was dedicated to two
deified men Petési and the î^Sheykh;: Pihôr (PZ/r// Pjj-hrj, the sons oï Kivpr, who
probably owed their déification to drowning (see below, p. 82).
That the ancient name of Dendùr was Tutzis is proved conclusiveh bv a
carefui examination of the name of the locality that occurs frequently in the
inscriptions on the p\lon, once in the demotic inscription on the north wall in
the interior of the pronaos, and twice in the Ptolemaic stela from the neigh-
bouring temple of Ajûala.
In scène 1, north jamb of pylon, east face (PI. Xll ). Petèsi is called
îfwv-^l ^ m.
'^^'^^ Agathodaemon of Tutzis {Tlit)- and so the name is spelt
in scène I, architrave of pylon, west face (PI. XXII, 1), and idem, scène IV,
(PI. XXII, 2) where sic! is a mistake for s=>. See also west face, north jamb,
scène III (PI. XXIV), where =1 is a mistake for s=>.

being any ollier iban the sign ^|k . That this slatement is correct is shewn by
the examples in tlie demotic inscription and the stela from Ajùala. In the former
the word is spelt T-lj-t_ {Vk. L. i. and CIV. and p. 3o) and in llio latter rrr.

the word must be Thùz, the final s==> becoming ûC- The loss of ibe asj)irate in
the form preserved in the Antonine Itinerary is easily explained by the fact that
in the Nubian language there are no aspirâtes. Ail such words are of foreign ori-
gin. Tho people of the place, therefore, probably pronounced the name Tôz (?).
The temple was built in the reign of the Einperor Augustus as is shewn by the
cartouches reading Autokrator Kaisaros. the regular names of that sovran in
the bieroglvpbic inscriptions. Onlv once in the whole of the main building is
Autokrator correctly spelt, i.e. (\iZ^^ This is on the west wall of the
pronaos, scène I, south of the door of the antechamber (PI. LU, i). In idem

;^-f £^ J . The titles -^ ^^^ in everv part of the temple are frequently bungled,
them and the cartouches are fullv illustrated on PI. CXVII. The hieroglypbic signs

especially the birds. bave a certain rude vigour. Those that possess any interest
as shewing the stvle and forms of this late period, bave been drawn. and are
published on Pis. CXIII and CXIV.
4 THE TEMPLE OF DENDÙR.
There is nothing unusual in ihe clothes and ornaments worn by the king and
deities (PI. GXVIII). The king except in scène III, south jamb of pylon, west face
(PI. XXVIII, 2), and scène III, architrave of door of antechamber (PI. LXII, 2),
wears the type of kilt illustrated by fig. 3. For the exceptional kind of skirt worn
in the two above mentioned scènes see fig. 5. The gods wear, when represented
as standing, the kilt shewn in fig. 1, tbough sometimes the outline of the thigb
does not appear beneath the garment (see the figure of Petèsi, Pi. LI). Osiris is
represented as a swathed divinity three times only; vit. in scène III, architrave of
pylon, east face (Pi. XI, 2); scène III, south jamb of pylon, east face (Pis. XXVIII
and GXVIII, fig. 6); scène I, exterior south wall of temple (PL LXXXV). The
last example represents Arsenuphis in the form of Osiris. Fig.
7 gives the sort
of cloak worn by Horus the Child in the scènes in this temple. Fig. 9 is the
usual type of kilt worn by the gods when seated, though the tail is nearly always
omitted. The style of kilt of fig. 8 is far less fréquent. Fig. 1 1 shews both how
the cérémonial tail is passed under the girdle, and also the sleeveless vest worn
regularly by the gods and sometimes by the king (PI. LU, 9). The Nile-god
wears his usual loin-cloth, fig. 2. The goddesses without exception are clothed
in the long close-fitting garment of fig. /i. It should be noted tbat the shoulder-
straps required to keep the dress from slipping are always omitted. Fig. 10 is
the collar regularly worn by the king and divinities. Sometimes either the string
of ball-beads round the neck, or the fringe of petal-pendants is omitted, some-
times the collar is quite plain without either.
THE PYLON.
(Pis. II and X-XXX.)
The gateway of the pylon just over 6 3//i mètres in beight, bas the usual
Egyptian cornice decorated with the winged disk. On either side of the disk is a
urœus; that on the north wears the ^-crown of Lower Egypt, and that on the
south the ^-crown of Upper Egypt. Thèse architectural features are the same
on the east and west faces of the gateway.

The columns hâve the usual elaborate floral capilals of the period, immc-

five horizontal bands. On the inner and outer face of both columns, below the
binding, is a kneeling figure upon the sign r^n, holding 1 in either hand.
PI. XXXIV, 2, gives a view of the outer face of the south column, while PI. XXXV,
figs. 1 and 2 , shew's the kneeling figures on the inner face of the nortli and south
columns respectively. The screen into which they are built, conceals most of
the outer face of the lower half of the columns. The détails of the décoration on
the exposed narrow strip, and on what remains of the screen itself, are clearly
shewn on Pis. XXXIl and XXXIV, a. The inner face of the columns is left free
and is sculptured with figures of two men, one above the other; the upper

lias a door in the centre adniittinj}- to the antechaniher, and there is also a door
in the west end of the south wall. Thèse two doors are part of the original
design. At a later period, another door was eut in the east end of the norlh
wall, destroving part of a scène inside and out.
Imraediately below the ceiling on the above mentioned walls, and along the
west face of the architrave of the columns on the east side of the pronaos, runs
the frieze. This is fuUy illustrated in the fronlispiece and Pis. XLVII, C.XIX
and CXX.
Down the middle of the ceiling, in low relief, is a flight of vultures with
and colours (PI. CXI. i). The remaining part of the ceiling on either side is
painted a deep blue and studded with yellow stars. The space between each
vulture contains Iwo horizontal Unes of inscription placed end to end. In the
first two spaces are the foUowing inscriptions, which are repeated alternately
right across the ceiling. The signs, which are in paint onlv, are badly preserved
and were deciphered with difïicultv bv wetting the surface.

ArCHAEOLOGICAL DETAILS :
The god is standing in the usual attitude, vvith the fîrst finger of his right hand
tohismouth. He is wearing the side lock which does not appear in scène VII,
exterior north wall of pronaos (PI. LXXXII). If ever there was a 3|ç^-bird in
his left hand ail traces of it hâve disappeared. From his right shoulder hangs
a cloak which was painted wilh a pattern, now indistinguishable, in red,
amulet (PI. GXIV, a; and see Griffith, Hieroglijphs, p. /ii, and figs. ho, i33).
Adjoining the upper part of scène III and filling up the space between scène II,
and the top of the door, there is the représentation of a couchant lion » — >-.
long green flaine with a bail of incense on either side of it. The lion, probably
once yellow (?), bas a heavy mane painted green. The muscles on the legs are
indicated in a very conventional manner; the ribs shew up clearly under the
skin (PI. LVI, i). Tliis lion must be a représentation of Mihôs or Shû-Arsenuphis
(see p. 79-80).
As one leaves the pronaos bv way of the door in the south wall, the important
Coptic inscription eut in the thickness of the left jamb by Abraham the presbyter
and mentioning the king Eirpanome, catches the eye. The characters are incised
and painted red. Above it is the following mutilated graffito written in red paint :
The Coptic inscription bas already been published in L. , D., VI,io3, 89,
and very little damage bas befallen it since Lepsius' party visited Dendùr. Where
it bas been mutilated the right reading was obtained by moistening the place
with water. The red paint with which the incised characters were coloured, bas
soaked well into the stone, and when wetted, sbews up clearly. In this manner
the defaced letters are rendered visible.
Certain errors in Lepsius' version make it évident ihat his copy in the Denh-
màler was taken from a squeeze and not from the original.
The inscription, with a translation and notes, bas also been published by
Revillout in an article entitled : Mémoire sur les Blemmyes, à propos d'une
inscription copie Irouve'e à Denclûr.

38 THE TEMPLE OF DENDUR.
The dado which forms the lowest register on the west, noiih and soulh walls,
is divided in two by the door in the west wall that adniits to the antechamber.
In the northern division (Pis. LVI, 2 and LVII) the king, Avearing the ^-crown
of Lower Egypt, heads a procession consisting of alternating figures of Hapy
and Sekhet. In the southern division (Pis. LVIII and LIX) he heads a simiiar
procession, wearing the ^-crown of Upper Egypt. In both places the king
holds a tray of cakes (see PI. GXVII, 3) below which is the following inscription :
t il I ^^^ A*-*'^ I
j\H-.
Hapy is of the usual form. For his head-dress, type 38, see PI. CXI, and
note that he is given the pig-tail peculiar to the royal head-dress, which is the
only unusual détail. For Sekhet's head-dress see Pi. CXI, type 89.
This door in ihe west wall of the pronaos admits to a small uninscribed
chamber between the pronaos and sanctuary. Its east face only is decorated.
Above the architrave is a cornice upon which is the winged disk. On either
side of the disk is a urœus, that on the north side wearing the ^-crown of
Lower Egypt, and that on the south side the ^-crown of Upper Egypt.

COMMENTARY.
1. NeNTHPIC; a proper name. NTHP «gods" is an élément in names of the Greek period,
but NÊNTHP tr tbe gods^i sounds a very unlikely mcaning for a proper name. Il is possibly,
therefore, a Nubian name, as is perbaps AMATICIC, and totally unconnected witb any
Egyptian word.
2. nAnTOYAeCJC; ïla.TTTOv'kis must be tbe ancient Nubian (?) name of Ajûala. Are tbe endings
-ovXls and -lïala of the ancient and modem names anylbing more tban a mère coïncidence?
3. n is almost certain. For the élément MAA \ve might compare the name txmax/. See Bulletin

Al Philae and Dakka Arsenuphis was reckoned as a form of the god Shu, and

holding crook and flail (pronaos, exterior soulh wall, scène I). In one scène,
also (pronaos, interior soulh wall, scène III), Arsenuphis, Isis and Ilarpokrates
form a triad. He appears ihcrefore to bave been regarded by the priests of

fréquent in connection with hasije that it seems certain that it belonged specially
to the drowned. The title p-hri/ might well be translated by the modem Egyplian
word «Sheykh;;. For the spécial vénération with which the drowned''^' were
regarded, see Mr. Grifîilh's statements in the sanie article, wiiere he comments
on the passage in Ilerodotus that treats of that subject. It is probable, therefore,
that Petêsi and the «Sheykh;; Pihôr were two men who, having met iheir death

Pelèsi and Pihôr are called ffThe Osiris Petêsi'^ rThe Osiris Pihôrr. Occasionally also m'," hrw

and pylon, W. face, N. jamb, scène III. Thèse atlributes sliew that they were dead.
''^'
It is possibly because they were dead and drowned that Petêsi is coloured blue and Pihôr
green? (Pronaos, inlerior north wall, scène IV). So the face of Osiris the god who died is often
green. See for example a scène in the Papyrus of Ani (Brit. Mus., n° 10, iyo, sheels 3 and i),

Ermax, Egijplian Ueliirion, p. 201) and, as Pihôr has the sun's disk above his
head, so pcrliaps Petèsi is assignod ihis head-dress — he too having done the
ff pleasurc of Rèi» the sun-god — in order to emphasize the connection between
the sun-god and the drowned nian?

8/, THE TEMPLE OF DENDLR.
Froui llie évidence \ve possess it seeras likely tbat Petêsi was especially tbe
god of Tutzis wlîile Pihôr was llie god of Kit as the demotic inscription clearly
States, lî Kit is the modem Kûrteh, we can imderstand wliy the inscription
renouncing the dues (see p. 3o, 3 1) was eut in front of Pihôr. The ancient town at
Kurteh was of considérable size (see Weigall, op. cit., p. 92), and its god would
tberefore be more important than tbe god of Dendùr in ihe eyes of ofïicials from
Philœ, and so migbt weli hâve been called to witness a renunciation of a tax
Satis JL.
Tbis goddess occurs twice, once as consort of Mandùlis. and tbe otber lime
Tefnut
In Egvptian Mythology Tefnut is tbe sister-wife of Shu, and thèse two were
tbe cbildren of Rê, and parents of Geb and Nut the earth-god and sky-goddess.
At Dendùr and Dakka Tefnut is the consort of Thoth of Pnubs (see under Thoth).
Sbe is called «Daughter of Rê, in tbe midst of Abaton, Ipt tbe beautiful, mistress
of Pbilae, ruler in Biga (^Snm^T. Ipt is a form of Hathor, and in L., D.. IV, 3o,
goddess wearing tbe bead-dress of type 33. For the identiûcation of Hathor witli
Tbe principal shrine of tbis god is the temple of Dakka, tbe ancient Pselkis.
Pnubs has been identified witb Mabaraka, tbe Hierasykaminos of the classical
writers, but Ptolemv mentions a Pnubs in Upper Nubia (see Brcgsch, Die Sieben
Jahre der Hungersnolh). At Dakka and Dendùr Thoth of Pnubs is a form of Shu :
considered la liavo orifjinated m Nubia (see Brugsch, op. cil., 766, a), llis iour-
pluined liead-drcss, type vik, is also the hoad-dress of Sliu (see Champollion,
Nol. (Icscr., I, 133), but is especlallv characterislic of lliat god undor the form
of Oiiuris'". Sometiines lie is represeiited holding a scorpion'"'' and snake in his
hand, the latter coiling round his 1- sceptre (PI. CXVI, 9). It is most unlikely
"
tliat ihis scorpion bas any connection with Pselkis ^, for as VVeigali
iAuliqiiiùes of Lower Niihia. p. 86) points out, the scorpion-goddoss Selket occurs
nowhore in tho Icmple reliefs at Dakka. The name I*selkis may well be of non-
Egvplian orijjin. Il is possible ihat the scorpion and snake dénote magie powers.
Al Dendùr Tliolh of Pnubs is lord of Pselkis and Biga [Snm) only. At Philae
Uxo|:|p.
This goddess appears twice only at Dendiir, as a vulture on the ceiling of the
pronaos along with Nekhbel, and as consort of Mandûlis. She is called rfUto,
lady of Pe and Dep, prolecting(?) Pe and Dep(?), T'i/-t., wilhin Nun, giving
life to the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Pharaoh v. Tuj-l occurs as a name of
Uto in Mak., Ahi/dos, I, apendix A, p. 36, d, with whom she and Slim-t are there
identiGed. Tu/t is usually associated with the weaving of the sacred bandages
of iho gods. See Moret, Bit. Amon and Mut. XXX, 3-i : I J© J • • •
Uto is also the consort of Mandûlis on the stela of Philometor I from Ajùala,
where she is called «Lady of Pe and Dep, eye of Ré, lady of heaven, mistress
of ail godsi'.
"' l<'or the identification of Shu willi Onuris, see Euman, Egyptian Religion, p. i4, 76. 161.
Tliis bead-dress is also worn by Hr-iiv-p',-hrd (L., D., IV, 72, b).
'-' In L., D., IV, 76, (l, there are two such scorpions.
"' Cf. a New Kingdom stela also from Halfa, in the Ashmolean Muséum, Oxford, wbich shews
Isis seated on a tbrone wilh a scorpion above lier head.
'*' She may be merely Isis-Selkis, but this appears lo be tbe characterislic form of Isis at Halfa,
occurring again on a pièce of frcsco discovered by Dr. Randall-Maclver in the Northern temple.
