Περὶ Ἴσιδος και Ὀσίριδος Plutarch
14 They relate also that Isis, learning that Osiris in his love had consorted with her sisterNephthys; Cf. 366 b, 368 e, and 375 b, infra. through ignorance, in the belief that she was Isis, and seeing the proof of this in the garland of melilote which he had left with Nephthys, sought to find the child; for the mother, immediately after its birth, had exposed it because of her fear of Typhon. And when the child had been found, after great toil and trouble, with the help of dogs which led Isis to it, it was brought up and became her guardian and attendant, receiving the name of Anubis, and it is said to protect the gods just as dogs protect men. Cf. Diodorus, i. 87. 2.
