amu-an-shi

Updated: May 20, 2025

Whilst all the men of the land rejoiced, I, and his vassals whom he had oppressed, gave thanks unto Mentu. This prince, Amu-an-shi, embraced me. Then I carried off his goods and took his cattle, that which he had wished to do to me, I did even so unto him; I seized that which was in his tent, I spoiled his dwelling.

Behold he gave me water and boiled me milk, and I went with him to his camp; they did me good, and one tribe passed me on to another. When I had dwelt there half a year Amu-an-shi who is the prince of the Upper Tenu sent for me and said: "Dwell thou with me that thou mayest hear the speech of Egypt."
