Seshat was closely associated with Thoth (Ancient Egyptian: Dhwtj), the reckoner of time and god of writing, who was also venerated as a god of wisdom. The two shared some overlapping functions and she was variously considered to be his sister, wife, or daughter. Seshat invented writing and Thoth taught writing to man. Seshat also appeared in funerary contexts, where, along with Nephthys, she restored the limbs of the deceased.
