Dogir is an entity very little attested in the accessible documentary sources. The original notice presents it as humans transformed into spirits by witches and dwelling in the Nile — a motif that joins broader Nubian beliefs about the supernatural beings bound to the river. As things stand, no solid consultable source allows the name Dogir to be confirmed or its myth to be specified. Caution is required regarding this figure, whose precise attachment to the Nubian traditions cannot be established.
