Lepidotonpolis (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Λεπιδότων πόλις) is the Greek name of an ancient Egyptian town in Upper Egypt under the modern village Nag' El Mashayikh opposite to modern Girga. The ancient Egyptian name of the place was perhaps Behedet jabtet - or Per mehit according to Gauthier. Under the modern village are the remains of a New Kingdom temple. Fragments with the names of the Egyptian kings Amenophis III, Ramesses II, and Merneptah were found.[1] The main deity of the place was the lion goddess Mehit. The lepidotus fish was here worshiped too. Near the temple is an ancient cemetery including the decorated rock cut tomb of Anhurmose[2] and the tomb of the royal scribe Imiseba.
