ENT_MER_ARITENE Aritene   Meroitic Sun deity Indigenous Meroitic deity sun; solar kingship; light   regional   C candidate_verified_name Early-antiquity fringe completion (v1.67.0) 0 0 0 A possible indigenous Meroitic solar deity, read as "Ariten/Aritene" on a fragmentary faience medallion from Meroe by Priese (1984) — a solar identification that is contested and largely superseded in favour of Mash. Divine status of the name is itself uncertain. (Earlier note text conflating REM 0277 / "Haramadeye" was a fabricated joint attestation and has been removed.) deity
