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)

KINGS OF

[Part II.

I must now shew what corrections and alterations
the monuments authorize our making in this list. For
greater convenience, I divide the two Dynasties into
three parts; the first containing nine sovereigns; the
second, five; and the third, eight; according to Afri-
canus's list. Having already given the principal varia-
tions of each name, I shall in future only give that
orthography which appears most agreeable with the
hieroglyphics.

The first King of the Dynasty, Amosis, is called
on the monuments " Aah-mes": the second, Chebron,

is not found ; and it appears that the third, Amenophis,
or Amenoph I., immediately succeeded Aah-mes. Pos-

sibly Chebron was a colleague of Aah-mes or of
Amenoph I. It seems to me that we cannot err in
excluding him from the regular succession. The fourth
sovereign, Queen Amesses, is the Queen "Aah-mes"
of the monuments, the Queen of Thothmes I.
