	Between Tepiamenit, Predecessor of the Pole, and the Pole itself, there is [[Muphrid]] (η Boo). In the epoch around 1250 BCE, Muphrid (11h 14m) and Alkaid (11h 18m) have almost the same right ascension. Therefore, it appears consequent to search Tepiamenit also at roughly the same right ascension and in the vicinity of Muphrid. Tepiamenit as a term is directly written in hieroglyphs in some RSCs, but without a number, close to the neighbouring right ascension (the one given for Muphrid). So, it has to be located in the area of [[Bootes]] (or Ursa Major).		Between Tepiamenit, Predecessor of the Pole, and the Pole itself, there is [[Muphrid]] (η Boo).

	Tepiamenit, Predecessor of the Pole, is a modern star name adopted by the International Astronomical Union in the IAU-Catalog of Star Names (IAU-CSN). Its origin is ancient Egyptian. It is the name of the star τ Boo (HIP 67275, HR 5185) in constellation [[Bootes]].
