It is far more probable that the Egyptians, when at last they drove away their tyrants of Semitic blood, gave these princes, who for several centuries had considered themselves as the legitimate kings of Egypt, the nickname Hak Shasu by way of a contemptuous expression. An ancient tradition furnishes an important addi- tion to the proofs of the Arab origin of the hated Hyksos kings, which has been preserved by sev- THE EXODUS^OF ISRAEL. ' 101' eral_Arab historians of the Middle Ages. An Arab tr...adition tells us of a certain Sheddad (the name means a powerful ruler), the son of Ad, who made an irruption into Egypt, conquered the country, and extended his victorious campaign as far as the Straits of Gibraltar. He and his descendants, the founders of the Amalekite dynasty, are said to have maintained themselves more than two hundred years in Lower Egypt, where they made the town Awaris their capital. * According to another tradition, on the testimony of Africanus (one of those who extracted from the work of Manetho), the Hyksos kings were Phoeni- cians, who took possession of Memphis, and made the town of Auaris, or Awaris, in the Sethroite norne, their chief fortress.
