Paopi

Pa -en- Ipet (Greek Phaophi; Coptic Paopi; Arab Baba ) was in the Egyptian calendar, the ancient Egyptian name of the second month of the season Akhet in the Egyptian calendar and represented the period from early August to early September.

The name of the month is derived from the Opet festival, which was first mentioned in writing under Hatshepsut. Alan Gardiner as well as Richard Anthony Parker suggest that Pa -en- Ipet changed shape over the years the calendar history.

From the predynastic period until the end of the Middle Kingdom represented Pa -en- Ipet as Menchet originally the third month of the Sothis calendar and shifted from the 19th dynasty in the New Kingdom to the second month.
