THE SHEPHERD KINGS OF EGYPT. 207 



fcliese identificationa in the hands of the scholars to whose valuable 

 labours I am indebted for the materials out of which I have been 

 enabled to build up a consistent and harmonious scheme of early 

 Egyptian history. Without the results of their patient and arduous 

 investigations I could not have hoped to succeed ; and I shall now be 

 well content to repay the debt I owe them by leaving to their more 

 richly stored memories and facile pens the work of rendering gene- 

 rally available the truths which it has been my aim in this paper to 

 set forth. 



III.— NATIONS. 



Ashcliurites. 



II I I I I I 



Hyksos. Heplierites or Temauites. Shethites. Shairetaan. Tocchari. Tahennu.

 italics ; lines of Armais or Hamin and of Mareshah in parenthesis.

VI. Aiiubls, BioiMs, ATHOTHIS, (Moeris) (Archies). 



VII. ApoplUs, MENTERRA? MIPHRES? 

 The Bible equivalents of these names are :

The line of Etam or Atmoo may be a generation earlier than that in which it is here placed. 

 Jt seems that Jezreel or Osiris lived in the time of Usecheres and Month or Antaeus, so that 

 Atmoo would be a contemporary of Seb. Tlie order of dynasties would thus be : 

 I. Osirian in Jezreel the son of Etaui. 

 II. Horite in Manahath, the son of Shobal. 



III. Shepherd in the sons of Ashchur. 



IV. Ammonian in Coz, the son of Ammon.
