Per-Wadjet was an Ancient Egyptian town in the 10th Upper Egyptian nome. The ancient town is identical with the modern village Kom Ishqau. Per-Wadjet is known from Egyptian sources since the New Kingdom. It was a cult place for Hathor, who was here identified with Wadjet. The Greeks identified Hathor with Aphrodite and called the town Aphroditopolis or Aphrodito. In Greek and Roman times the town was sometimes the nome capital. In Kom Ishqau were found the papyri of Dioscorus of Aphrodito, who lived there in the 6th century A.D. These papyri are an important source for life in Byzantine Egypt.[1] References 1. ^Farouk Gomaà: Kom Ischqau, in Wolfgang Helck, Eberhard Otto (editors): Lexikon der Ägyptologie III, Wiesbaden 1980, {{ISBN|3447021004}}, S. 674-75
