The Meanings of the Term ḥrj-ib in Divine Epithets
Published/Copyright:
November 29, 2012
Abstract
The epithet “ḥrj-ib temple X”, when inscribed in scenes or texts within “temple X” designates deities with divine images which received cult in that temple. Those images might be permanently resident in that temple, or just visiting for a festival. Thus, the deity’s association with that temple was indicated, without providing any definitive indication concerning the permanency or duration of that association. Deities could also visit temple X without residing in it, or receive cult remotely with no three-dimensional physical presence in temple X. These deities were sometimes localized externally with the epithet “ḥrj-ib temple Y” in scenes and texts in temple X.
