Biography
Tefibi was a young Egyptian man who lived in Alexandria with his mother Tjepu, who sold olive oil for a living on the southern docks of the city. Aspiring to be a philosopher, Tefibi travelled throughout the city in search of knowledge, which his mother was not pleased with. On one occasion in 48 BCE, he travelled to the lighthouse near the beach in search of a cave. However, during his search, he was injured by a crocodile in the lake, leading him to flee to a hut next to the lighthouse for safety.[1]
When he failed to return after some time, Tjepu enlisted the aid of the Medjay Bayek of Siwa to search for her missing son. Bayek followed the trails of blood and torn clothing, leading him to Tefibi's whereabouts. Escorting Tefibi back to the beach, the Medjay defended Tefibi against Ptolemaic soldiers, who accused Tefibi of being a map-thief. Tefibi thanked Bayek for his help before returning to his mother and his studies.[1]
Sometime afterwards, Tjepu gave Tefibi an offering which he placed in his papyrus along with his notes. However, the papyrus was stolen by soldiers, who took it onto a boat and fled to Lake Mareotis. Losing the offering led to the displeasure of Tjepu who scolded Tefibi, as she would be unable to sell her oil without giving thanks. Bayek learned of their situation and promised to recover Tefibi's papyrus.[2]
True to his promise, Bayek recovered the papyrus from the soldiers at the lake, thus allowing Tefibi to fulfill his dream in becoming a philosopher, despite his mother's protests and claims that the Greeks would never accept him among them.[2]
