	Hatmehyt
		Hatmehyt (or Hatmehit) was a fish-goddess worshipped in the Delta area, particularly in Mendes (Per-banebdjedet or place of Banebdjed).
		The standard for the Nome was the symbol of a fish, confirming Hatmehyt as the pre-eminent deity of the area.
		However, in later times her position was usurped by Banebdjed (an aspect of Osiris) who was considered to be her consort and was worshipped in the female form of Banebdjedet.
