The anthroponym Petorsmethis is attested abundantly in the first two centuries ad. Names of the theophoric Pete-type normally refer to a single deity, although two god’s names or a theonym followed by an epithet is equally possible. Osiris- Smithis, however, seems to refer to a deity (Osiris) followed by an anthroponym (Espmetis). Alternatively , the entire construction Osiris-Smithis may refer to a single deity. In this article the existence of a deity called Osiris-Smithis is explored, as well as the geographical and chronological spread of the personal names mentioning this deity .

Area 13c, located in the town centre of modern Aswan in Upper Egypt, was excavated in 2005 by the Joint Swiss-Egyptian Mission working at Old Aswan. A sequence of houses from the late Ptolemaic period up to the late Roman period was documented at the site. Among the terracotta objects found in one of the houses, a miniaturised clay scabbard has features typical for the gladius scabbards known from military camps of the first and early second centuries AD from other Roman provinces. Similar terracottas were interpreted as toys, attributes of statues or votive offerings. However, the find context of the object from Syene demonstrates that – together with other clay objects – it belonged to a room decoration or was part of a house altar. Perhaps the object was dedicated as a votive by a soldier, since there are some indications for Roman military presence in this part of Syene.
