1524 Manat ENT_ARA_MANAT received_as Nemesis ENT_NEMESIS low Manat (from Arabic mana, "to apportion" or "fate") presides over the apportionment of destiny and death; she is associated with the moon and with the inevitable fate that awaits all human beings. Nemesis (Greek goddess of retribution and the apportionment of fortune/fate) shares the function of inevitable, apportioned fate. The Nabataean Manat was identified with Greek fate/retribution deities in the Hellenistic period; at Madain Salih (Hegra) inscriptions attest her alongside Dushara. Confidence low: the functional parallel is reasonable but no explicit ancient identification of Manat with Nemesis (as opposed to Tyche or another fate deity) is documented in surviving texts.

2132 Aidos ENT_AIDOS paired_with Nemesis ENT_NEMESIS high Hesiod Works and Days 197-200: Aidos (Shame/Reverence) and Nemesis depart last from the earth as the iron age fails, always paired as the twin moral enforcers of social order. Hesiod, Theogony and Works and Days SRC_HESIOD_THEOGONY approved  
2140 Poine ENT_POINE paired_with Nemesis ENT_NEMESIS high Poine (Punishment/Retribution) and Nemesis are closely related retributive daimons; Poine acts as the agent of specific punishments, Nemesis as the overarching principle of divine retribution.
