Priest names
(roles) priests were involved in rituals to ensure the steady levels of flow required from the annual flood. Located at Ta-Sety, Abu/Elephantine there was nilometer, a measuring device, was carefully monitored to predict the level of the flood, and his priests must have been intimately concerned with its monitoring.

Features
Hapy is show as an intersex person with a large belly and pendulous breasts, wearing a loincloth and ceremonial false beard. He is depicted with either blue or green skin, representing water. In Lower Egypt, he was adorned with papyrus plants and attended by frogs. In Upper Egypt, it was the lotus and crocodiles which were more present in the Nile. He is often pictured carrying offerings of food or pouring water from an amphora, but also, very rarely, was depicted as a hippopotamus. During the Nineteenth dynasty Hapy is often depicted as a pair of figures, each holding and tying together the long stem of two plants representing Upper and Lower Egypt, symbolically binding the two halves of the country around a hieroglyph meaning "union". Not to be confused with one of Horu's son Hapi by the same name.
