Poole, Reginald S.: Horae Aegypticae: or, the chronology of ancient Egypt: discovered from astronomical and hieroglyphic records upon its monuments, including many dates found in coeval inscriptions from the period of the building of the Great Pyramid to the times of the Persians ; and illustrations of the history of the first nineteen dynasties, shewing the order of their succession, from the monuments (London, 1851)

temporaneousness of certain of the first seventeen Dy-
nasties with others of that portion of Manetho's list,
which would be sufficient to establish, on monumental
evidence, the contemporaneousness of the Memphites,
Heracleopolites, Diospolites, Xoites, and Shepherds.
On account of the great importance of this fact, I
give one of the lists of Chenoboscion (from my own
copy), a portion of the list of the Chamber of Kings,
and a fragment of the Royal Turin Papyrus, in Plate

All the names in this table, excepting Papa, Net-
akartee, and Ab . . . ., are prenomens. The num-
bers of the Dynasties are from Manetho.

With respect to the fragment of the Royal Turin
Papyrus, it is necessary to remark, that it is but one
fragment, not two joined together. Each of the three
lists of Chenoboscion contains three names in the
same order, with no difference but that one gives the
prenomen (Mee-ra) instead of the nomen (Papa) of
Phiops, and that the first two characters of the same
King's name in one list are indistinct. Sir Gardner
Wilkinson first discovered these lists, as I have before
mentioned, and published a copy of one of them in his
"Ancient Egyptians."* Two of the lists are in hori-
