The Ancient Greek letters for Khepri's Name in arrangement.
Khepri (Egyptian: Ḫpr, "He Who Becomes") is the self-created solar deity who embodies the rising sun and the principle of transformation. In the Pyramid Texts (Utterance 587), the deceased king is identified with Khepri as the one who "came into being of himself." Khepri pushes the sun through the Duat (the underworld) each night, fighting the chaos-serpent Apophis, and emerges at dawn as the manifestation of perpetual renewal. The scarab beetle (Scarabaeus sacer) was observed rolling balls of dung across the ground, and the Egyptians saw in this the image of the God who rolls the Sun across the sky. Kheper (ḫpr) means "to come into being, to transform, to manifest": one of the most theologically potent verbs in the Egyptian language.

The Goetia lists Cimeries (also Kimaris, Cimejes) as the 66th spirit: a Marquis commanding 20 legions, appearing as a valiant warrior riding a black horse. His attributed powers (teaching grammar, logic, and rhetoric; discovering treasure; granting swiftness) correspond to Khepri's roles as the God of manifestation (the "grammar" of creation), solar revelation (bringing buried gold to light), and celestial transit (the swiftest crossing, from Duat to horizon, every dawn). The attribution of African dominion in some Goetic manuscripts points directly to Egyptian origin.
