Jim Horne notes:

36-Across: Who is SATI (Satet)? In Egyptian mythology, Sati (more commonly spelled Satet or Satis) is an important deity, but her domain is highly specific. She was the goddess of the Nile cataracts, hunting, war, and the annual inundation (flooding) of the Nile. She belonged to the Elephantine Triad alongside the ram-headed god Khnum and the goddess Anuket. While she was sometimes called the "Queen of Elephantine," she was never considered the supreme "queen of the gods."
