Page "Osiris" Paragraph 60
from
Wikipedia
The cult of Osiris continued until the 6th century AD on the island of Philae in Upper Nile.
The Theodosian decrees of the 390s, to destroy all pagan temples, were not enforced there.
The worship of Isis and Osiris was allowed to continue at Philae until the time of Justinian, by treaty between the Blemmyes-Nobadae and Diocletian.
Every year they visited Elephantine, and at certain intervals took the image of Isis up river to the land of the Blemmyes for oracular purposes.
The practices ended when Justinian sent Narses to destroy sanctuaries, arrest priests, and seize divine images, which were taken to Constantinople.
