At Philae, the Chapel of Arensnuphis (early Ptolemaic period) was the principal cult location for both deities simultaneously. The Meroitic ""Good Companion"" and the Egyptian sky/war hunter deity were fused into a single cult figure. This is the most explicitly attested syncretism in the Meroitic layer, paralleling (but distinct from) the Egyptian identification of Onuris with Shu.

The chain is: Arensnuphis syncretized_with Anhur, and Anhur identified_with Shu in Egyptian theology.
