8038 Wadjet ENT_EGY_WADJET equated_with Leto ENT_LETO medium Ancient interpretatio at Buto: "This Oracle which is in Egypt is sacred to Leto, and it is established in a great city near that mouth of the Nile which is called Sebennytic" (Hdt 2.155) and Leto as nurse of Apollo/Horus on the floating island (Hdt 2.156; trans. Macaulay, PG #2707, verified verbatim 2026-07-01). Herodotus never names the Egyptian goddess; her identification as Wadjet, mistress of Buto (Per-Wadjet), is modern Egyptology (Wilkinson, Complete Gods and Goddesses, s.v. Wadjet) — hence MEDIUM.
