Goddess ‘name’ or name of a goddess? Astarte and her epithet on the stela of Betu (TBO 760)
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.
