Not illustrated. 1879 edition. Excerpt: ...the full name of SEKHEM-KHEPER-RA SOTEP-EN-AMON MIAMUN SHASHANQ H. B.C. 833. There is a universal silence of the monuments about his time and history. After him reigned a Thakelath, in all probability his son, with the full name of HAT-KHEPERJIA SOTEP-EN-RA MIAMUN SI-ISE THAKELATH H. B.C. 800.
