Dynasty XXIX 399-380

Nepherites I		399	393
Psammuthis		393
Achoris		393	380
Nepherites II		380

Nepherites I (Nef’aurud)
399-393 B.C.
Nepherites I was the first ruler of the Twenty-ninth Dynasty. Nepherites I sent a gift to the Spartans after an allegiance had been entered into with Sparta against Persia. This gift was lost to the Persians after the ships from Egypt approached Rhodes. The Egyptians did not know that the Rhodians had defected to the Persians.

Hakoris (Hakor)(Achoris)(Hagor)
393-380 B.C.
There is some discrepancy as to whether Hakoris was the second in the third king of the Twenty-ninth Dynasty. Psammuthis is the king with whom confusion is associated because he is shown to have ruled during the same year as Hakoris (393 BC).

Hakoris reigned for thirteen years and built many monuments which are found in all parts of Egypt. During his reign there was peace between Persia and Sparta.

Persia was free to move against Egypt and there was a three-year war between the two. Egypt was relatively strong during this time and became allies with Cyprus. Egypt was delivered from Persia. The tomb of Hakoris has not been found.

Nepherites II
380 B.C.
Nepherites II was the fourth and final ruler of the Twenty-ninth Dynasty. He reigned for only four months before he was overthrown by the founder of the Thirtieth Dynasty.

He assumed the throne after the death of Hakoris, Nepherites’ father. The name Nepherites has an etymological meaning of "His great ones are prosperous".
