This paper argues in detail for the identification of Peftjauawybast, King of Nen-nesut
(fl. 728/720 BC
), with Peftjauawybast, High Priest of Ptah in Memphis (fl. c. 790–780
BC2
), known from the Apis stela of year 28 of Shoshenq III. This identification ties
in with a significant lowering of the accepted dates for the kings from Shoshenq III,
Osorkon III and Takeloth III to Shoshenq V, and the material culture associated with
them. Such a shift seems to be supported by stylistic and genealogical evidence. As a
consequence, it is further suggested that the Master of Shipping at Nen-nesut, Pediese
i, was perhaps related by descent and marriage to the family of the High Priests of
Memphis and King Peftjauawybast.
