Although the inscription is dated to the second century AD, we know the original source corresponds to a much earlier period, as its creative action are already contained in the Nineteenth Dynasty, particularly on the sarcophagus of Merneptah.
Goddess who gave birth to the universe through seven arrows (or seven words, they also said that created by the word) represents the primordial waters which gave rise to the primordial hill, texts appeared as a cow (like Hathor, Hesat, Ihet or Mehet-Urt) that emerges from the primordial chaos and helps out the sun. Legend has it that the goddess appeared first in the form of cows, simultaneously emerged from the primordial waters and swam north to find the fish lates, his partner, which in turn is another of his many transformations. Under the guise of fish lates, was venerated at Oxyrhynchus and Esna. This is the point of attachment to the myth of Osiris, it was believed that the fish was born from the wounds of Osiris (by contact with water) produced when his brother Seth killed him and threw his remains into the Nile According to local theology, the tomb of Osiris was located right on the temple of Neith at Sais, and she was the guardian of it.
Another center of worship was Esna, which was known as "The Terror", here was the wife of Khnum and the mother of Apophis, the Saite period is a domestic goddess and proclaimed it the "Mother of all gods", was also a funerary god, "Lady of the West", protector of the dead.

In fact, in the city of Sais was commissioned a temple to the goddess who bore the name of The Bee House. Beneath its funeral and inventor of the tissue as a goddess, Neith is offering bands and the shroud for the body of the deceased to be buried properly.
In the New Kingdom became the patron of weavers, and in this role is confused with Tayto. From the Old Kingdom was the protector of Osiris, Ra and the king, defending his bow against the enemies of the night and the geniuses of the bad dreams, which numbed with arrows.
