Notes on Late Libyan Egypt

This article first publishes a small bronze shrine with inscriptions of the obscure king Thotemhat, British Museum EA 11015. The reading of the Horus-name of this ruler is corrected to Ḫ'-m-Wn(t). The article then considers the evidence for a Delta centre for the Twenty-Third Dynasty, and suggests that there is, as yet, no good reason to assume that this Dynasty ruled from Leontopolis as has been suggested. It is also proposed that the linking of Iuput II, mentioned on the stela of Piankhy, to this Dynasty may be erroneous
