Abedjou

This name means'Foremost of the Westerners' and is rather one of the titles of Yinepu (Anubis) than a specific deity. Khent-Amentiu appears as a local deity in jackal form at Abedjou. He was worshipped at the necropolis there as the leader of the deceased; the 'Westerners'. During the Old Kingdom he became assimilated with Osiris, who assumed his place.

Not much is known about this name, though Quirke (Ancient Egyptian Religion, p. 52, 54) suggests that Khenti-Amentiu may have embodied all deceased kings buried at Abydos and that Osiris is the new form of same deity. There are however too much other connotations with Osiris for this to be probable.

His name is spelled in different ways: Kentamenti, Khenti-Amenti, Khenti-Amentiu.
