In a recent article on the "Great chiefs of the Libu" in the Western Delta, Jan Moje tried to show that there were two local rulers called Ni-ma-teped (A/B) and two Tjer-pa-hati (I/II), attested on five donation stelae. If one of those stelae is ascribed to Shoshenq IV rather than to Shoshenq V, three stelae mention a (single) ruler Ni-ma-teped during the reign of Shoshenq IV, and the remaining two a ruler Tjer-pa-hati under Shoshenq V.

The precisely dated donation stela British Museum EA 73965 bears the name of a great chief of the Libu, who can now be identified as a previously unknown local ruler in the Western Delta during the Twenty-second Egyptian Dynasty. According to new data, the current sequence of the Western Delta rulers can be partially modified, and thus shed some light on this less well-known period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
