This book contains the first edition and analysis of graffiti and dipinti from a speos dating from the early Roman period located in the necropolis of Hut-Repit/Athribis in Upper Egypt. Until recently, this temple was believed to be a sanctuary dedicated to Asklepios-Imhotep. The inscriptions, numbering around a hundred, are mainly Demotic and consist of proskynemata and votive formulas, alongside various figurative drawings. These texts offer a precise date for the temple, and valuable insights into the cult of Haroeris and his sacred falcons, as well as the staff of the religious association responsible for it.
