The only known example of men self-identifying as κίναιδοι (cinaedi, 'queers') is in graffiti on the temple of Isis at Philae — and their names were Τρύφων ("Precious") and Στρούθειον ("Birdy").

Another priest (maybe related?) wrote the last Demotic inscription there in 452. The last inscription related to Pagan gods came in Greek a few years later. Soldiers on the order of Justinian closed the pagan temples in Philae in 535 - 537.

The last piece of Hieroglyphics is from the temple at Philae in 394. A small family of priests appear to have kept up the Pagan temple there after the retreat of the Roman Empire ~300. It was dated "in the year 110", as the priests counted from Diocletan, waiting for the return of pagan rule.

ESA(欧州宇宙機関)のMクラスミッション候補「将来火星探査計画 M-MATISSE」って、(mother shipではなく)fathership “Henri” と daughtership “Marguerite”から構成されるんだ。画家Henri Matisseと、その長女にして財産管理人となったMargueriteにちなんだのね。 ESAの惑星科学ミッションは、初代のハレー彗星探査機Giotto以来、欧州の芸術家・科学者や神話、歴史などの名前を愛称にすることが多いです。彗星探査機Rosettaと彗星核着陸機Philae、土星探査機Cassiniと衛星タイタン着陸機Huygens等。
