The correspondences of the years of Sesertesen I.
and Amenemha II., and of Amenemha II. and Seser-
tesen II., are on the authority of the monuments. The
co-regency of Sesertesen II. with Sesertesen III., and
of Amenemha III. with Ra-sebak-nufre and Ma-tu-ra,
I only consider probable. With respect to the latter
case, my conjecture is founded upon Eusebius's having
said that the later Kings of this Dynasty reigned forty-
two years. It is most probable that the Twelfth and
Fifteenth Dynasties commenced about the same time.
