To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I give her name, rendered into hieroglyphics, from the hieratic charac- 136 QUEEN NITOKRIS. [Part II. ters of that record. In Manetho's list we are told that she built the Third Pyramid, a statement which I have already had occasion to notice in treating of the Fourth Dynasty. Herodotus also mentions Queen Nitokris, With her the Sixth Dynasty ended; the Shepherds, who had lately invaded Egypt, taking Memphis, which they continued to hold for more than two centuries. I shall have to speak of the... invasion of Egypt by the Shepherds, and their domination, in the next section. During the Sixth Dynasty, the Heracleopolite king- dom commenced ; and its first Dynasty was the Ninth. Of the Kings of this Dynasty, Manetho's lists mention but one, the first, by name; but the hieroglyphic names of several of them have been ascertained by me. I have already mentioned the fact of Sir Gardner Wilkinson's having found a proof that the Kings of the Nantef family found in the Chamber of Kings are Kings of a Heracleopolite Dynasty : it is this : five of the six Kings of the Nantef family have nomens into the composition of which the name of the Egyptian Hercules, the god of Sebennytus, and also doubtless of Heracleopolis, enters ; and this proves that these six Kings belong to a Heracleopolite Dynasty, which can only be the Ninth, for I have already shown that it cannot be the Tenth.
