The earliest dated inscriptions refer to Ptolemy XII (reg 80–58 BCE; 55–51 BCE); its outer hypostyle hall was dedicated in November, 34 CE. It was built of sandstone on the conventional Egyptian plan, but only the inner apartments were completed. These comprise the outer hypostyle hall with twenty-four columns, an inner hypostyle hall with six columns, two vestibules and the usual suite of service rooms and cult chambers surrounding a free-standing sanctuary. A remarkable feature is the use of the emblem of Hathor, the Hathor head, which also forms part of the naos-shaped sistrum, a musical instrument used in her worship. The capitals of the outer hypostyle hall are in the form of naos sistra, their four Hathor heads facing the cardinal points, and the head motif also occurs in the friezes above the main entrance, throughout the temple interior and on the exterior rear wall. This last, colossal head was gilded and covered by a canopy. Since the east–west axis of a temple is the path of the sun through the sky, the gilded Hathor head reflected and embodied the sun's presence on earth and represented the goddess's epithet of 'gold'. The same associations are present in a delicate kiosk in the south-west corner of the roof, where the union of Hathor with the solar disc was celebrated. This solar emphasis contrasts with the temple's actual north–south orientation, which was determined by the direction of the Nile nearby; despite the gloom within, it focuses on sun and light. Three levels of crypts were constructed; unusually, they are decorated with reliefs, many of which show and describe cult objects. The reliefs record a vast range of sculptural types, few of which are otherwise preserved; they also give details of their materials and dimensions. The roof of the temple contains two suites of rooms dedicated to Osiris. The ceiling of one was decorated with a carved zodiac; its composition contrasts with others known from Egypt in being roughly circular, and is one of the rare cases of Classical influence in native Egyptian temples.
