Idfa (
Ancient Greek
: Ἰτος).
Location
The Greek spelling Itos, which was derived from the Egyptian Iteb and formed the root of the Arabic name Idfa, was found on several
ostracas found in today's Idfa. In addition, a poultry farmer is named "Horo(n)mephis" on two of these ostracas, which represents the Greek form of Horus Iunmutef.[1] An inscription on the outer wall of the temple of Edfu
indicates that Iteb was a cult place of the aforementioned Horus Iunmutef. On the south wall of the Pronaos, Horus Iunmutef can be seen in this context as "the cleaner of the great house of Horus, who is in his barge from Iteb" at the head of the convoy of Horus.
From the representations on the north wall of the Chemmis (modern Akhmim) have been obtained, which allowed an assignment of Iteb in the immediate vicinity to Chemmis. In addition, Osiris bears the title "Lord of Iteb".[2]
