1456	Osiris ENT_EGY_OSIRIS	received_as	Serapis ENT_SYN_SERAPIS	high	Serapis was deliberately created by Ptolemy I Soter (c. 286 BCE) as a syncretic fusion of Osiris and the Apis bull, supplemented with Greek attributes of Zeus, Hades, and Asclepius, to serve as a deity unifying Greek and Egyptian subjects of the new kingdom. Plutarch (De Is. ch. 28) documents the Ptolemaic invention; Tacitus (Histories 4.83) records the oracle that directed the creation. The Osirian element — resurrection, afterlife sovereignty, identification with the dead Pharaoh — is the primary Egyptian contribution to the Serapic complex. Highest-confidence Egyptian→syncretic chain in this dataset.	Plutarch, On Isis and Osiris (De Iside et Osiride, c. 100–120 CE) SRC_PLUTARCH_ISIS_OSIRIS	reviewed	Hellenistic Period PER_GRK_HELLENISTIC
1457	Serapis ENT_SYN_SERAPIS	reception_of	Osiris ENT_EGY_OSIRIS	high	Serapis as the Ptolemaic Greco-Egyptian reception of Osiris; the resurrection and afterlife sovereignty of Osiris are the primary Egyptian contribution to the syncretic Serapic complex.	Plutarch, On Isis and Osiris (De Iside et Osiride, c. 100–120 CE) SRC_PLUTARCH_ISIS_OSIRIS	reviewed	Hellenistic Period PER_GRK_HELLENISTIC
1458	Horus ENT_EGY_HORUS	received_as	Harpocrates ENT_SYN_HARPOCRATES	high	Harpocrates (Greek Harpokrates, "Horus the Child") is the direct Hellenistic reception of the child Horus (Hor-pa-khered), depicted in Egyptian art as an infant with finger to lips — a conventional Egyptian gesture indicating childhood. Greek visitors reinterpreted this as a gesture of silence, making Harpocrates the Greco-Egyptian god of silence and keeper of divine secrets. The figure appears extensively in Ptolemaic and Roman-period material culture; Plutarch (De Is. ch. 19) discusses him. The Horus-child-on-Isis's-lap iconography became the direct visual model for later representations of the Christ-child with the Virgin.

1459	Harpocrates ENT_SYN_HARPOCRATES	reception_of	Horus ENT_EGY_HORUS	high	Harpocrates as Hellenistic reception of the child Horus; Egyptian finger-to-lips childhood gesture reinterpreted as the gesture of silence in Greek cultural context.	Plutarch, On Isis and Osiris (De Iside et Osiride, c. 100–120 CE) SRC_PLUTARCH_ISIS_OSIRIS	reviewed	Hellenistic Period PER_GRK_HELLENISTIC
1460	Anubis ENT_EGY_ANUBIS	received_as	Hermanubis ENT_SYN_HERMANUBIS	high	Hermanubis (Ἑρμάνουβις) fuses Anubis and Hermes in their shared role as psychopomps — guides of the dead to the underworld. Anubis's Egyptian function (weighing souls, conducting the dead to Osiris's judgment) and Hermes's Greek function (psychopomp, conductor of souls to Hades) are functionally identical, making the fusion natural in Greco-Egyptian religious synthesis. Plutarch (De Is. ch. 61) mentions Hermanubis; the figure appears throughout Greco-Egyptian papyri and material culture.

1461	Hermanubis ENT_SYN_HERMANUBIS	reception_of	Anubis ENT_EGY_ANUBIS	high	Hermanubis as Greco-Egyptian reception of Anubis in his psychopomp function; fused with Hermes in the shared role of guide of souls.	Plutarch, On Isis and Osiris (De Iside et Osiride, c. 100–120 CE) SRC_PLUTARCH_ISIS_OSIRIS	reviewed	Hellenistic Period PER_GRK_HELLENISTIC
1462	Hermes ENT_HERMES	received_as	Hermanubis ENT_SYN_HERMANUBIS	high	Hermes as the Greek psychopomp fused with Anubis in the Greco-Egyptian Hermanubis; the fusion is grounded in the identical function of conducting souls of the dead. Hermes Psychopomp + Anubis = Hermanubis, documented in Ptolemaic inscriptions, Greek magical papyri, and Plutarch.

1463	Hermanubis ENT_SYN_HERMANUBIS	reception_of	Hermes ENT_HERMES	high	Hermanubis as Greco-Egyptian reception of Hermes in his psychopomp function; fused with Anubis in the shared role of guide of souls of the dead.

1521	Athena ENT_ATHENA	reception_of	Al-Lat ENT_ARA_ALLAT	medium	Athena as the Greek identification for the north Arabian Al-Lat; Palmyrene inscriptions explicitly equate the two; warrior-wisdom function is the primary basis.	John F. Healey, The Religion of the Nabataeans: A Conspectus (Leiden: Brill, 2001) SRC_HEALEY_NABATAEAN_RELIGION	reviewed	Hellenistic Period PER_GRK_HELLENISTIC
1523	Aphrodite ENT_APHRODITE	reception_of	Al-Uzza ENT_ARA_AL_UZZA	medium	Aphrodite as the Greek identification for Al-Uzza via the Venus/morning star tradition; one of several Arabian→Greek connections through Nabataean-Hellenistic contact.	John F. Healey, The Religion of the Nabataeans: A Conspectus (Leiden: Brill, 2001) SRC_HEALEY_NABATAEAN_RELIGION	reviewed	Hellenistic Period PER_GRK_HELLENISTIC
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.

1525	Nemesis ENT_NEMESIS	reception_of	Manat ENT_ARA_MANAT	low	Nemesis as a possible Greek identification for the Arabian fate-goddess Manat; both preside over inevitable destiny and death.	John F. Healey, The Religion of the Nabataeans: A Conspectus (Leiden: Brill, 2001) SRC_HEALEY_NABATAEAN_RELIGION	reviewed	Hellenistic Period PER_GRK_HELLENISTIC
1527	Dionysus ENT_DIONYSUS	reception_of	Dushara ENT_ARA_DUSHARA	medium	Dionysus as the Greek identification for the Nabataean Dushara; Epiphanius (Panarion 51.22) makes the identification explicit; wine-vine association and mountain cult are the functional basis.	John F. Healey, The Religion of the Nabataeans: A Conspectus (Leiden: Brill, 2001) SRC_HEALEY_NABATAEAN_RELIGION	reviewed	Hellenistic Period PER_GRK_HELLENISTIC
8026	Typhon ENT_TYPHON	reception_of	Seth ENT_EGY_SETH	high	Greek interpretatio of Set as Typhon; Plutarch, De Iside et Osiride.	Plutarch, On Isis and Osiris (De Iside et Osiride, c. 100–120 CE) SRC_PLUTARCH_ISIS_OSIRIS	reviewed	Hellenistic Period PER_GRK_HELLENISTIC
