Hyksos, called also the Aadtous, who were the Adites of the Arabian 
historians. That the Philistines gave their military strength to this 
invasion is most probable, although historical data for asserting its real-. 
ity are yet wanting. 
Dekanata, as head of the League, sent Kudashita into the west to be 
the ally of Noba, and he was killed by an opposing soldier of Kushi. If 
Kushi be Cush or Ethiopia, we know nothing of its early history. It, 
however, could not be reached without ships, unless the men of Arabia 
Petraea passed through the whole length of Egypt. Had the inscrip- 
tion been found in Yemen in Arabia Felix, the identity of Kushi with 
Cush would have been incontrovertible. In the Delta was a nome that 
became the seat of a kingdom in Hyksos’ day called Kasit, and its capi- 
tal was Khesauu, termed by the Greek Xois. Its tutelary divinity was 
Amen-ra. Now, the second Amen-em-hat was named Nub-kau-ra, that 
is Nub (the son of), Kau (the son of) the Sun. The nearest Pharaoh in 
name to this Kau is Ka-kau, whom Brugsch places in the second 
dynasty of Thinite kings, continuing the old confusion of Manetho 
between This and Tanis or Zoan. Ka-kau is the Kaiechos of Manetho 
and the Choos of Eusebius, who was succeeded by a woman. But in 
Manetho’s first dynasty, the fourth Pharaoh is Ouenephes, in whose time 
was a great famine, and who built the pyramids at Cochome, or accord- 
ing to the Armenian version of Eusebius, Cho, a place unknown, unless 
it be Khesauu or Khesun, otherwise Xois. 
From the confusion of Manetho, worse confounded by each new 
Egyptologist, we turn to a brief chronicle, originally kept by the Kenite 
branch of the great Hittite family, but incorporated, with many indica- 
tions of ignorance, in the Hebrew records. In 1 Chronicles iv. 8, we 
read : “ And Coz begat Anub and Zobebah and the families of Achar- 
chel, the son of Harum.” The Turin papyrus mentions Anoob as a 
shepherd king, and Manetho mentions Archles. Zobebah is the Biophis 
of Eusebius, who immediately follows Choos of the second dynasty, and 
in whose reign it was decided that women should have the right to rule. 
She is also the Se-hotep-ab-Ra whom Amen-em-hat I. bracketed with — 
himself on his cartouches. According to Manetho, the first Amenemes 
was killed by the guards of his bed chamber, and the same is related of 
Othoes, the first of the sixth dynasty. The founder of the sixth dynasty 
Brugsch calls Ati, and he makes him contemporary with a Teta or 
Hadad. It is remarkable that a person called Se-hotep-ab-Ra had 
charge of the temple of Anpu or Anubis during the reigns of the third 
Usertesen and Amen-em-hat, and was buried in the necropolis of Aby-
