Medjed was a species of the family elephantfish worshipped at Oxyrhynchus (Ὀξύρρυγχος) in ancient Egyptian religion. These fish were believed to have eaten the penis of the god Osiris after his brother Set had dismembered and scattered the god's body. A settlement in Upper Egypt, Per-Medjed, was named after the fish and is now better known under its Greek name Oxyrhynchus, meaning "sharp-nosed" or "town of the sharp-nosed fish," a nod to the Egyptian depiction of the species.

has abstract	Medjed was a species of the family elephantfish worshipped at Oxyrhynchus (Ὀξύρρυγχος) in ancient Egyptian religion. These fish were believed to have eaten the penis of the god Osiris after his brother Set had dismembered and scattered the god's body. A settlement in Upper Egypt, Per-Medjed, was named after the fish and is now better known under its Greek name Oxyrhynchus, meaning "sharp-nosed" or "town of the sharp-nosed fish," a nod to the Egyptian depiction of the species. The elephantfish (subfamily Mormyrinae) are medium-sized freshwater fish abundant in the Nile. They figure in various Egyptian and other artworks. Some species of mormyrid have distinctive downturned snouts, lending them the common name of elephantnoses among aquarists and ichthyologists. A figurine from Oxyrhynchus of one of the sacred Medjed fish has many attributes typical of mormyrids: a long anal fin, a small caudal fin, widely spaced pelvic and pectoral fins, and the downturned snout. (en) Medjed era uma espécie de peixe-elefante adorada em Oxyrhynchus na antiga religião egípcia. Acredita-se que esses peixes tenham comido o pênis do deus Osíris depois que seu irmão Seti desmembrou e espalhou o corpo do deus. Um assentamento no Alto Egito, Per-Medjed, recebeu o nome do peixe e agora é mais conhecido sob o nome grego Oxyrhynchus. O peixe-elefante (família Mormyridae) é um peixe de água doce de tamanho médio e abundante no Nilo. Eles figuram em várias obras de arte egípcias e outras. Algumas espécies de Mormyridae têm focinhos distintos, dando-lhes o nome comum de narizes de elefantes entre aquaristas e ictiólogos. Uma estatueta de Oxyrhynchus de um dos peixes sagrados de Medjed tem muitos atributos típicos dos Mormyridae: uma barbatana anal longa, uma pequena barbatana caudal, barbatanas pélvicas e peitorais muito espaçadas e o focinho virado para baixo.
