Behold Osiris has come as Orion… the dawn-light bears you with Orion…
your third is Sothis (Sirius)… Sothis is swallowed up by the duet (fades in the dawn), pure and living in the horizon. The reed-floats of the sky are brought down to me… that I may go up on them to Horakhti at the horizon. I go up on this eastern side of the sky where the gods are born, and I am born as Horus, as him of the horizon… Sothis is my companion… the sky is clear (lighting up), Sothis lives… It is Sothis (Isis)… who prepares yearly sustenance for you in her name of the "year"…
[Pyramid texts 57 - 61]

The youngest child of Geb and Nut. The sister and wife of Set, and sister of Isis and Oriris; also the mother (variantly by Set or Osiris) of Anubis. She abandoned Set when he killed Oriris, and assisted Isis in the care of Horus and the resurrection of Osiris. She was, along with Isis, considered the special protectress of the dead.
