Pompey's Pillar marks one former site of devotion to this god, whose main temple was destroyed by Theophilus in 391. A statue of this deity was stolen from Sinope on the orders of the mysterious "unknown god," after which both the reigning Eumolpidae and Manetho pronounced the identity of this deity. The central statue of this god had an object on his head identified as the modius, a basket used to apportion grain. This god was depicted with Cerberus at his feet and was the father of Harpocrates. This god's worship was encouraged as a syncretic practice in the 310s BCE, and his main cult center was in Alexandria. For 10 points, name this main god of Ptolemaic Egypt.
