Also called Satis, Sati, Lady of Elephantine.
Their story
Satet was worshipped at Elephantine on Egypt's southern border, where her small temple is one of the oldest known sacred sites in the country. She was thought to pour the cool, purifying waters of the flood and to shoot them forth like arrows. She formed a family with Khnum and Anuket, the guardians of the First Cataract. The Pyramid Texts mention her purifying the king with water from Elephantine.
