2361 Arensnuphis ENT_MER_ARENSNUPHIS syncretized_with Anhur ENT_EGY_ANHUR high Arensnuphis is explicitly identified with Anhur (Onuris) in Greek dedications from Philae: he appears as "Arensnuphis Onuphris" in inscriptions, where Onuphris is the Greek rendering of Egyptian Onuris/Anhur. 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. Török (1997) pp. 475-478.
