We have a reasonably accurate idea of which fish species were eaten from the terms used in the ancient Egyptian language. Hieroglyphs record the following types:
- aHA, the lates nilotica fish
- aDw, the Buri fish
- wHa, the synodontis schall
- XAt, the oxyrhynchus (mormyrus kannume)
- int, the Bulti fish
- nar, the catfish
- Spt, a Nile fish (Tetrodon fahaka)
There were also many different words for fish in general, and for different types of fishermen (presumably based on their methods of catching, netting or spearing fish).
