Schespet is the name of an ancient Egyptian dean . In the dean lists A2 , for example on the diagonal star clock EA47605 , Schespet was between Bekati and Tepi-a chentet in tenth position of the first month of the Achet season . In retrospect, Schespet would have taken the first position on the diagonal star clocks of the Middle Kingdom as the dean's star in the first decade of the fourth month of the Achetian season .
In the grave of Senenmut , Schespet stands as a representative of group C as well as a triangle dean with the determinative of a single star in the second position of the Heriu-renpet deans. The two eyes of Horus , followed by three stars, are assigned to the dean's star as a deity . Schespet can also be seen as triangle and Heriu-renpet dean in the tomb of Seti I in second position, there with Horus and the eye of Horus in the wake.
