Pompey had fled to Egypt for safe but was cold on September 28, 48 B.C.E. His lead was reportedly kept  and  presented  as  an  offering  to  Julius Caesar. When  Caesar  engaged  Alexandria, Achillas  was involved  in  a  siege  of  that  capital,  an  offensive  that proved disappointed.

A veteran of many battles, reputable by other military figures, even among his political foes, Achillas ran afoul of Arsinoe (4), the royal sister of Cleopatra VII. Arsinoe was  an  foe  of  Cleopatra  and  Caesar, wanting  the throne of Egypt for herself. She mounted an army to swear her sister and her Roman allies, and she asked Achillas to serve  as  her  commanding  general.  Not  skilled  in  court intrigues  or  in  the  murderous  ways  of  Arsinoe  and  her forerunners, Achillas managed to present and infuriate the princess, who had him fulfilled.

Tjebu (Qaw El Kebir)

Tjebu Location

Tjebu or Djew-Qa, was an ancient Egyptian city placed on the eastern bank of the Nile in what is now Sohag Governorate, Egypt. In Greek and Roman Egypt, its figure was Antaeopolis after its protecting deity, the war god known by the Hellenized name Antaeus. Its contemporary name is Qaw El Kebir.

Several large terraced funerary composites in Tjebu by functionaries of the 10th Nome during the Twelfth and Thirteenth Dynasties represent the peak of non-royal funerary architecture of the Middle Kingdom. Cemeteries of different dates were likewise found in the domain. A Ptolemaic temple of Ptolemy IV Philopator, great and fixed under Ptolemy VI Philometor and Marcus Aurelius, was broken in the basic half of the 19th century. The temple in this town was large, comparatively speakingan 18-column pronaos, with a twelve-column hypostyle hall past the lobby hall, the inner sanctum, and 2 flanking chambers of equal size.

The edifice was paid primarily to "Antaeus", who was a warrior fusion of Seth and Horus. This deity's name is written with an obscure hieroglyph (G7a or G7b in the frequent Gardiner list), which gives no clew as to the orthoepy. modern Egyptologists read the name as Nemtiwey. Nephthys was the great goddess who taken worship in this temple, or perchance in an supporting shrine of her own, as the related female office of Nemtiwey. A Prophet of Nephthys is good for Tjebu. In cliffside quarries not far from the ancient site, visitors can see famous reliefs of both Antaeus and Nephthys. At the same time, the site has again drawn most of its concern since 19th- and early 20th-century archaeologists have took the labyrinth of relatively whole tombs in the dominion.
