Machine-translated from the Italian article

Abi (also Aba) was an ancient Egyptian deity of the dead, attested since the Middle Kingdom. In the Middle Kingdom coffin texts there is attested the idea that the deceased assumes the appearance of a panther in the duat. A magical knife presents a depiction of the goddess Mafdet, which indicates the solar and celestial character of the panther.
