Terdapat banyak pusat agama semacam itu, yang disebut juga serapeion (bahasa Yunani: Σεραπεῖον) atau serapeum dalam bentuk Latinisasi.

Rufinus – "The Destruction of the Serapeum A.D. 391"
Michael Routery, "The Serapeum of Alexandria" The author has conflated material from his cited references source (R. Turcan 1996:126): the reason for the conflict that led to the barricading in the Serapeum has been changed from that of his source. Here it is the finding of human skulls and the charge of human sacrifice text instead of a conspiracy and a ridiculing of art work.
