or Menti in Egyptian texts.
Apepi, the Hyksos King, adored Set, or Sut, who was adored also by
the Hittites, and from whom Dusratta's father, Sut-tarna ("Set is
his lord") was probably named. It would appear that the Hyksos,
Hittites, and Armenians, were of the same race. The land of the Men
is said to have been near Assyria, and east of Syria, which agrees.
(See Brugsch, "Hist. Egypt," i. pp. 210, 233, 234, 239.) The Minyae
of Herodotus (i. 146; iv. 145-148) are noticed as mixed with Aryans
in Ionia, and in Lacedaemon were regarded as descendants of sailors
in the Argo--perhaps from Colchis and the Caucasus. See what is said
as to the similarity of the presents from Armenia (26 B.), and the
art of Mycenaee and Troy, which is of Asiatic origin.

383 Harran (Gen. xi. 31, etc.), now Harran, was on the south border of
Dusratta's kingdom, marching with Assyria. (Compare 24 B.)

384 "Tadukhipa," a Mongol name, "possessing sweetness."

385 Probably Teie is here meant, as there is no notice of Gilukhipa. She
may have died.

386 "Walk after" for "obey" or "worship," is used just as in Biblical
Hebrew.

387 The broken name was "Nabkhuriya," or Amenophis IV, as is clear from
the next paragraph. He was also the husband of Tadukhipa, as here
stated. (See 11 B. M.)

388 "Sitatama," a Mongol name, apparently "fair-faced." "Suttarna," also
Mongolic, "Sut is his Lord."

389 As Gilukhipa was married during the reign of Suttarna (apparently
from Egyptian sources in the tenth year of Amenophis III, or about
1490 B.C.), it is possible that "Teie" is here intended; but her
father's name was Iuaa, or Ivaa, and it is not clear what relation
she was to Dusratta. From 11 B. it seems clear that they were
related, and later in the present letter he mentions the "father of
Teie," apparently as living with him after his own father's death.
The syllables "Ivve" (perhaps for "Ivaa") precede the father's name,
but as the text is here broken, it is not certain that these
syllables represent a personal name. Perhaps Teie was Dusratta's
cousin. She was certainly of royal birth, and is represented as very
fair, but with dark hair. The words "a daughter" may mean only "a
young woman."

390 Khai was sent to Aziru (31 B.), which again shows the date of the
