The Ninth Dynasty
The fact that two Herakleopolitan dynasties only contain the name of one king suggests a lacuna. There was probably some indication that the records had been corrupted or lost, which the epitomators mistook for another dynasty. The difference in the number of kings and years between Africanus and Eusebius for dynasties 9 and 10 is another clear indication that their epitomes differed substantially.
The chronological order
It is important to note that the chronological order of the pharaohs is an evolving subject and should therefore be treated with a certain degree of caution. As new research is conducted, the order may be subject to change, which is a fundamental principle that applies to all Egyptian dynasties.
| № | Pharaoh | Also known as |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Meribra Khety I | Meribre Khety I |
| 2 | Neferkara III | Neferkare III |
| 3 | Wahkara Khety II | Wahkare Khety II |
| 4 | Senen | |
| 5 | Neferkara Khety III | Neferkare Khety I |
The Ninth Dynasty according to Manetho
The contents of their epitomes of Aegyptiaka must have been quite different, as can be seen from the differences between the more complete text of Africanus and the missing information of Eusebius.
Ninth dynasty of 19 kings of Herakleopolis
These reigned for409 years
The first of them was Achthoes. Harsher than his predecessors, he caused hardship for the people of all Egypt. But he later succumbed to madness and was killed by a crocodile.
Ninth dynasty of four kings of Herakleopolis
These reigned for100 years
The first of them was Achthoes. Harsher than his predecessors, he caused hardship in all of Egypt. But he later succumbed to madness and was killed by a crocodile.
Ninth dynasty of 4 kings from Heracleopolis
who ruled for 100 years
The first of these Okʻtʻovis was more cruel than any of his predecessors, and worked crimes throughout the entire country of Egypt. Finally he succumbed to madness and was devoured by a crocodile.
