Wikipedia EN

A Serapeum is a temple or other religious institution dedicated to the syncretic Greco-Egyptian deity Serapis, who combined aspects of Osiris and Apis in a humanized form that was accepted by the Ptolemaic Greeks of Alexandria. There were several such religious centers, each of which was a serapeion (Greek: Σεραπεῖον) or, in its Latinized form, a serapeum. An Egyptian name for the temple of Osiris-Apis (Coptic: ⲟⲩⲥⲉⲣϩⲁⲡⲓ) was Pr-Wsỉr-Ḥp "House of Osiris-Apis".
