✦ Synopsis

Ma-na-ah

˘-pi-/ir-/ja of the Amarna letters can be identified as Mn-h ˘pr-r> , the throne name of Thutmosis III, rather than Mn-h ˘pr.w-r> , the throne name of Thutmosis IV. This equation is supported by the un-etymological writing of Thutmoses III's throne name as Mnh ˘-p3-r> in hieroglyphic and Demotic sources. The Hellenistic renderings of Mn-h ˘pr-r> as Mesphres and of Mnh ˘-p3-r> as Mecfrhv indicate that Misafriv, as Africanus renders the throne name of Thutmosis III in his copy of the Manethonian king list, is corrupt. It remains an open question whether h ˘pr in Thutmoses III's throne name is the same as h ˘pr in related names, like H ˘pr-h ˘pr.w-r> , the throne name of Aya.
