Aberit
Aberit was an ancient Egyptian goldsmith in the second half of the 3rd century in Philae, Upper Egypt . He is only known from a graffito that has been preserved at the Isis Temple in his hometown and says that he was employed at the temple and comes from a dynasty of goldsmiths. The name is not of Egyptian but Meroitic origin. So his family probably came from Nubia . The graffiti he made himself is dated to the year 273.
