Amunoph II agree very well; Thothmes IV will be his
Horus, and Amunoph III, Rathotis. This is the Meranon
of the Romans, not to say Greeks; there is some resem-
blance in the name of Amunoph, but he did not live at the
time of the Trojan war; and when they ascribed to Memnon
one of the tombs (a) of the kings at Thebes, which bears
the name of a Rdmeses, we may judge, what little faith
can be placed, in a name, given by men, totally unacquainted
with the history of the kings of Egypt. The tomb of
Amunoph III really exists in the western valley. The
Memnonium of Thebes was built by Remeses Maiamun ( or
Miamun) that of Abydus by his father, and completed by him;
they must have been guilty of another error here, (if these
are the Memnonia of Strabo) an error, into which they were
probably led by the name of Miamun, which is easily con-
verted into Memnon. This title (very common in the names
of the Theban Princes) also belongs to the king, whose tomb
they ascribed to the son of Tithonus. Amunoph III, it ap-
pears, had a brother, who shared with him the sovereign
power, during the first years of his reign. The queens Amen-
ses, and Achencheres are omitted, and evidently no mention
is made of them, either in the Abydus or Theban lists, c. d,
of which I can only make amun-ma-namek, will be his

and likewise to No. 13, Piute I, which bears the following construction : " the
good god, lord of the world (Amunoph II" i. c his prenomen) " the giver of
life; his son who loves him, lord of ... (Thothmes IV) the giver of life; his
6on who loves him, lord of the foreigners ?" (Amunoph Ill's prenomen, " lord
by Ra and truth) son of the sun, Amunoph, beloved of Amun."
