Le temple de Deir Chelouit V
Les inscriptions (vol. 1, 2e edition revisee) / Translitteration, traduction et commentaire (vol. 2)
By (author) Christiane Zivie-Coche
The temple of Deir Cheluit is situated on the west bank of the Nile in Thebes, south of Medinet Habu. It remained unpublished for a long time. A first edition was published during the 1980s. The recent cleaning carried out by the ARCE is the basis of a revised edition of the inscriptions with their translation. The access to the temenos is through a propylon. The temple, built during the Roman period, was decorated under Hadrian and Antoninus. The decoration and the texts are executed with care. Isis “who resides in the western mountain/the mysterious mountain” is honored on the rear wall of the naos; hymns are dedicated to her on the propylon and the naos door. Wife of Osiris, buried in Djeme, she performs his cult and that of the dead gods interred at Djeme. The temple’s position on “the divine road of Montu” shows it is a processional chapel for the god. Travelling from Armant to Djeme during the Khoiak festival to honor Osiris, the god stopped there. The role of Montu in his four cities of the “Palladium of Thebes” is obvious in the decoration of the naos, protecting its four corners. Two hymns are dedicated to Osiris; they have parallels on papyrus and in other temples.
