Geography
Alabastron was located on the east bank of the Nile north of Antinoöpolis and Hermopolis. It is placed in present-day el-Kom el-Ahmar about 10 kilometers south of present-day Minya. Ptolemy placed the city in Middle Egypt, but Pliny the Elder in Upper Egypt proper in the Thebaid.
History
Hebenu was the early capital of the Oryx nome. The Greek name Hipponon (Template:Langx, Hippōnōn) derived from the Egyptian name is also mentioned for the city in this era, but it should not be confused with the Hipponon further north in the 18th or 20th nomes near el Hiba.
In other times, the city was counted as part of the Hare nome. Near it were quarries of alabaster, from which it got its later Greek name. The name is known from the Hellenistic period, i.e. the time of the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Roman Egypt, the second half of the century. until the beginning. After this, the city is more often referred to as Alabastrine until late antiquity until the fifthth century.
Buildings and findings
The city had temples dedicated to Horus and Pakhet. In addition to Kom el-Ahmar, archaeological sites related to the city include Zawyet el-Amwet, Zawyet el-Maiyitin (Zawiet El-Maietin/Zawyet el-Meitin) and Zawyet el-Sultan (Zawiyat al-Sultan), where, among other things, graves have been found.
