Summary: Peftjauawybast, King of Nen-nesut. Genealogy, Art History, and the
Chronology of Late Libyan Egypt
This paper argues in detail for the identification of Peftjauawybast, King of Nen-nesut
(fl. 728/720 BC), with Peftjauawybast, High Priest of Ptah in Memphis (fl. c. 790–780
BC2), known from the Apis stela of year 28 of Shoshenq III. This identification ties
in with a significant lowering of the accepted dates for the kings from Shoshenq III,
Osorkon III and Takeloth III to Shoshenq V, and the material culture associated with
them. Such a shift seems to be supported by stylistic and genealogical evidence. As a
consequence, it is further suggested that the Master of Shipping at Nen-nesut, Pediese
i, was perhaps related by descent and marriage to the family of the High Priests of
Memphis and King Peftjauawybast.
Keywords: Peftjauawybast – Apis stelae – Egypt – Late Libyan period

en Menfis (fl. c. 790–780 BC) conocido a partir de la estela de Apis del año 28 de
Shoshenq III. Esta identificación concuerda con una significativa reducción de las
fechas aceptadas para los reyes que van desde Shoshenq III, Osorkon III y Takelot
hasta Shoshenq V, y con el material cultural asociado con ellos. Este cambio parece
sustentarse con evidencia estilística y genealógica. Como consecuencia, se sugiere
que el maestro de navegación de Nen-nesut, Pediese i, estaba quizás relacionado por
descendencia y matrimonio con la familia de los sumos sacerdotes de Menfis y el rey
Peftjauawybast.

PeftJauawybast, king of nen-nesut
The “Victory Stela” of Piye, the Kushite conqueror of Egypt, is one of the
most illuminating documents for the late Libyan period. It reveals in some
detail the degree to which Egypt had become politically fragmented by the late
8th century BC, naming as it does no less than four northern kings, “uraeus
bearers”, as well as over a dozen local chieftains of lesser stature. In doing so
it provides a set of synchronisms between a number of rulers—notably Piye
himself, his main opponent in the north Chief of the Libu Tefnakht of Sau
(Sais), and four kings: Nimlot, Osorkon, Iuput and Peftjauawybast. The Stela
thus provides one of the principal sources for reconstructing the chronology—
both difficult and controversial—of this period.
The focus of the present article is one of the “uraeus bearers” recognised
by Piye—Peftjauawybast, King of Nen-nesut (Herakleopolis). A loyal vassal
of Piye, he was besieged within his city by the army of Tefnakht. Delivered
by the army of Piye, Peftjauawybast’s encomium of the Kushite at Khmunu
forms a section of the narrative of the “Victory Stela” (lines 70–76). Though
Peftjauawybast is a relatively obscure figure, his many family connections—
both attested and conjectural—lend themselves to chronological analysis:
not only in terms of genealogical links, but from the artistic style of their
monuments.
Peftjauawybast (PAj.f-TAw-(m)-awj-BAstt), or as earlier scholars pre-
ferred, Pefnefdiubast (Pf-nf-di(w)-BAstt), clearly possessed full kingship.
Although his full titulary is not preserved, surviving monuments use nomen
and prenomen with the titles nb tAwy, nsw, nsw-bity, nTr nfr, sA Ra, and nb
irxt.3 He is attested by a small number of monuments4:
