Iu-miteru

Iu-miteru (iw-mitrw/jw-mjtrw - the island in the river) was an ancient Egyptian town in the fourth Upper Egyptian nome, near Gebelein. The town is often mentioned in Ancient Egyptian texts and was the place for a temple for Sobek. From an inscription found at the Wadi Hammamat it seems certain that the place was at the Southern border of the Fourth Upper Egyptian nome. Modern identification of the location of Iu-Miteru remains uncertain. The ruins of a temple of Sobek were discovered in Naga' Awlad Dahmash (Rizeiqat), which could thus be the ancient Iu-miteru.

Old Kingdom
In the 6th Dynasty, a letter mentions the estate.

Second Intermediate Period
In the Second Intermediate Period, the Temple of Sobek at Iumiteru meaning Island on the River, saw attention from Sobekhotep Amenemhat.

At the temple, there was a wab-priest of Iumiteru (wꜥb n Jw-mjtrw). Two people are known with this title Resseneb and sn(⸗j)-rs.

Another title known from the site is Man of Iumutru (s n jw-mjtrw) named Neferhotep.
