/6. Saneha’s adventures led him to the protection of Am- 
munensha (Chabas) or Ammu-anshi (Goodwin), whose name 
may indicate the prince (Nasi) of the Amu, as M. Chabas has 
suggested. We find, by the way, Ammu-ladi king of ICedar 
in the time of Assurbanipal.* 
77. The land of Ammunensha was that of the “ upper 
Tennu,” and seems to have been much the same as that of 
Takhisa. In all probability, says M. Chabas, “ Tennou cor- 
responded with the maritime part of Palestine, and Aea 
[Aam, as read by Goodwin] should be found in the triangle 
marked by the towns of Hebron, Askelon, and Joppa.'” f [Aea 
was the province committed to Saneha.] If this be so, then 
the words quoted by Mr. Goodwin from a papyrus may be 
relevant : “ the boats of Djana and Tennouatou how numerous 
are they.” J But it would seem that the boundaries of Tennu 
reached near to Atima (Adema or Aduma, — Chabas), which is 
generally supposed to be the land of Edom. 
78. I have sometimes thought that the Adema of Saneha 
may be the Admah of Genesis x., which had a separate king 
in Abraham's time. 
79. ff Upper Tennu ” seems to suggest a Lower Tennu, and 
the name of Ten (plural Ten-nu) may be identical with Zin 
and Sin. The inhabitants were settled and civilized, and 
accordingly were at war with the Petti or roving barbarians. 
They were Salcti, and it seems that they are distinguished from 
Amu in the narrative, for the Pharaoh says of Saneha ; “ he 
went as an Amu : he has been made into a Sakti,” and Saneha 
is called “a son of Mehi (the North), a Petti born in the land 
of Egypt”; but Amu are mentioned as present at Saneha' s 
duel. Two more names are mentioned as in the Tennu land, 
viz., Anush and Kashu, besides the Mennu, the settled people 
of the Sati, as M. Chabas explains it. § It is to be hoped that 
these names may be identified, as every word of these early 
records is so important. 
80. Amenemha I., the founder of the XHth dynasty, who 
was Saneha' s royal master, had also a servant, whose very 
name of Mennu seems to show him one of that people, as 
Saneha himself was an Amu. These points prove (as well 
as the celebrated reception of the thirty-seven Amu, Absha 
and his subjects) the friendly intercourse between Egypt and
