=Shepherd-Kings= (_The_), or _Hyksos_. These Hyksos were a tribe of
Cuthites driven from Assyria by Aralius and the Shemites. Their names
were: (1) SA[=I]T[^E]S or Sal[=a]t[^e]s, called by the Arabs El-Weleed,
and said to be a descendant of Esau (B.C. 1870-1851); (2) BEON, called
by the Arabs Er-Reiyan, son of El-Weleed (B.C. 1851-1811); (3) APACHNAS
(B.C. 1811-1750); (4) AP[=O]PHIS, called by the Arabs Er-Reiyan II., in
whose reign Joseph was sold into Egypt and was made viceroy (B.C.
1750-1700); (5) JANIAS (B.C. 1700-1651); (6) ASSETH (1651-1610).[TN-175]
The Hyksos were driven out of Egypt by Am[)o]sis or Thetmosis, the
founder of the eighteenth dynasty, and retired to Palestine, where they
formed the chiefs or lords of the Philistines. (Hyksos is compounded of
_hyk_, "king," and _sos_, "shepherd.")

native ruler, who made Apachnas tributary, and succeeded him, but on the
death of Aphophis the hyksos were restored.
