2365 Sebiumeker ENT_MER_SEBIUMEKER patron_of Fertility ENT_FERTILITY medium Sebiumeker's role as a creator/progenitor deity at Musawwarat es-Sufra places him in the domain of fertility and generation.

Juan Carlos Olivares Pedreño, Los dioses de la Hispania céltica (Bibliotheca Archaeologica Hispana 15; Real Academia de la Historia / Universidad de Alicante, Madrid, 2002) SRC_OLIVARES_IBERIAN reviewed Pre-Roman and Roman-period Hispanian Indigenous Religion PER_IB_IRON_AGE

The Middle Elamite royal inscriptions invoke her alongside Inshushinak and Napirisha for the protection and fertility of the Elamite state. Potts (1999) pp. 282-286. Daniel T.
