Note 6 — Chapter LVII

P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation

The goddess Seshait commonly but erroneously called Safch, through an error against which Lepsius (Aelt. Texte, p. 3) and Brugsch (Zeitschr., 1872, p. 9) have both spoken. The real name of the goddess, as I have elsewhere[67] shown by actual variants, is Seshait (Teta, l. 268) or (Louvre, A. 97). She is so called from the root , , writing, that being one of her occupations.
