P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation
In Chemmis. The name of the place where Isis gave birth to Horus is in the Pyramid texts written (Pepi I, 428), and (Merenra I, 683), aḫ-ḫebit or ḫebit-aḫ; but simply ḫebit in the texts of the eighteenth dynasty, as in the annals of Thothmes III (Mariette, Karnakc pl. 16, line 47),[54] or in the divine and 87proper names , , , , and , , . It is certain therefore that the sign is here only an ideogram of , not of the ancient . From the eighteenth dynasty at least, and for a time belonging to a period of unknown length between the sixth and the eighteenth dynasties, and for ever afterwards, the name of the place was Ḫebit, where, as the Tablet of the Dream says, (Mariette, Mon. div., pl. 7).
