Nehesy .............................. Aasehre

1. "It is true that the Hyksos rulers showed a great partiality for Tanis, and that the monuments erected both by them and by Ramses II and Meneptah there often mention Seth and even `Seth, lord of Avaris' (See Weill, Les Hyksos, p. 168-172), for an enumeration of the monuments. But a statue of king Nehasi, who has been thought to be a vassal of one of the early Hyksos rulers, also bears the epithet `beloved of Seth, lord of Avaris' though it was found at Tell Mokdam and not at Tanis. [See A. Gardiner, `The Defeat of the Hyksos by Kamose' in JEA, Vol. III, 1916, p. 95-(100)-110.]
2. According to dated information the stele of Suazenra is said to belong to this dynasty. Suazenra sold his governorship of El Kalb for 60 deben of gold. [Ancient Egypt, Sep 1929, p. 124.]
