Hauron ḥwrwn

Overview

Hauron is a Canaanite god taken into Egypt, and he is not in any source this reference has read — including, notably, Budge's chapter on foreign gods.

What was searched, and what was found

The whole archive was searched on 2026-07-29 — Budge's Gods of the Egyptians (both volumes), the Papyrus of Ani, the Book of Am-Tuat, the Book of Gates, Petrie's Egyptian Tales, and Mariette's Sérapéum de Memphis.

Terms tried: Hauron, and the whole of Budge vol. II ch. XVIII "Foreign Gods" was read directly.

Result: nothing. This entry records that search rather than leaving the name looking merely unvisited.

Recorded so the search is not repeated a third time. Hauron is absent from the one chapter where he would be expected. See the Foreign Gods.

Why this matters

A stub can mean two different things, and the difference is worth marking. It can mean nobody has looked yet — or it can mean somebody looked properly and the sources do not contain this.

This is the second kind. The name is real and stands on the census; the evidence for it is simply outside the material this reference has read. What is needed is named below, so the next attempt starts from a source rather than from a search that has already failed.

⚠ What this search did NOT cover

The sweep generated vowel-shifted variants of the modern spelling. It could not produce Greek forms (Arsaphes for Heryshaf, Imouthes for Imhotep) or Budge's hyphenated compounds (Ba-neb-Tettu for Banebdjedet, Heru-shefit for Heryshaf).

That gap has produced demonstrably wrong verdicts: Heryshaf scored one hit while attested in four sources under six spellings, and Banebdjedet was graded absent while Ba-neb-Tettu appears nine times. A hand-kept alternates table now covers the names that could be identified by hand — but it cannot be complete, and this entry was not individually checked against a Greek or compound form.

Read this as "not found under the spellings searched," not as "not in the archive." See C365 and C366.
