Spleen — Hermopolis Parva

Visceral renewal in a named relic nome

The anatomical identity is the spleen, placed in the upper abdomen on anatomical-left (the image's right). Hermopolis Parva is the relic-site claim rendered here from the Dendera list of local Osiris rites; no ancient source securely calls that rite a spleen relic, so the coordinate and site pairing are deliberately broad.

Mysteries of Osiris at Dendera (primary_canonical)

Hermopolis Parva is listed among the divine-relic nomes and receives an Osiris ritual; the source does not identify a spleen.

Supports treating the distributed local rites as a complex cult history rather than assuming a securely recoverable anatomical inventory.
