Abstract

New interpretation for the three hieroglyphs following the name of Astarte on the stela of the overseer of horses Betu discovered at Tell el-Borg in 2006. In all likelihood, these signs form a variant writing for the name of an Egyptian goddess. The resulting syncretic combination is discussed.

Keywords: Tell el-Borg; Astarte; Renenutet; foreign goddess; syncretism
