	Spell 443 from the Middle Kingdom Period coffin of Mesehti celebrates Akhuy, proclaiming, “I am this unique Akh-spirit. There is nothing I do not know in heaven, on [[earth]], or in the water. There is nothing I do not know about [[Hapi]] and [[Thoth]] because I am the God of the Morning.” This marks the earliest association of Akhuy with the planet [[Venus]], the morning star. Nearly 1,700 years later, the Egyptian astronomer Harkhebi was described as “purifying himself in the days when Akhuy rose heliacally beside Venus.” This same astronomer was a renown observer of the night sky, who claimed to know everything [[Sopdet]] (decan #36) predicted.

	An early [[grimoire]] titled ''[[Testament of Solomon]]'' describes a [[demon]] with similar features to this decan. Among the spirits summoned by [[King Solomon]] is one described as "a spirit in woman's form that had a head without any limbs, and her hair was disheveled," calling itself [[Obizuth]]. This demon has disheveled hair, a phrase predominantly used in Egyptian texts to describe the decans. It is also a woman without any arms. This perfectly matches the appearance of decan #24 on the Esna B zodiac, which depicts Akhuy as a seated mummiform goddess without any arms.

	When asked what its task is, Obizuth states: “By night I sleep not, but go my rounds all over the world and visit women in childbirth.” This matches the epithet given to Akhuy in the Naos of the Decades, “the searcher.” The Akkadian name for this demon is Abyzou (ap.bi.zu). Despite the difference in names, there is enough in common between this demon and Akhuy to suggest they ~~are~~ the same entity.
