king of See also:Egypt (q.v.), in See also:Egyptian Per-'o; Pheron in See also:Herodotus represents the same. Its See also:combination with the name of the king, as in Pharaoh-Necho, Pharaoh-Hophra, is in accordance with contemporary native usage: the name of the earlier Pharaoh Shishak (Sheshonk) is rightly given without the title. In hieroglyphic a king bears several names preceded by distinctive titles. In the IVth
See also:Dynasty there might be four of the latter: (1) identifying
him with the royal See also:god See also:Horus; the name is commonly written
in a See also:frame representing the See also:facade of a See also:building,
perhaps a See also:palace or See also:tomb, on which the See also:falcon stands. (2)
connecting him with the See also:vulture and uraeus god-desses, Nekhabi and See also:Buto of the See also:south and See also:north. (3) a See also:hawk on the See also:symbol of See also:gold, signifying the victorious Horus. (4) the old titles of the rulers of the See also:separate king-
es
doms of Upper and See also:Lower Egypt, to be read stni, " See also:butcher(?) " and byti, " beekeeper(?) " The See also:personal name of the king followed (4), and was enclosed in a See also:cartouche C i apparently symbolizing the See also:circuit of the See also:sun which alone bounded the king's See also:rule. Before the IVth Dynasty the cartouche is seldom found: the usual title is (1), and (3) does not occur. In the Vth Dynasty the See also:custom began of giving the king at his See also:accession a See also:special name connecting him with the sun: this was placed in the cartouche after (4), and a fifth title was
added: (5) Si-re, " son of the Sun-god," to precede
a cartouche containing the personal name. The king was briefly spoken of by his title stni (see 4), or Om", "his service," or Ity, " See also:liege-See also:lord." These titles were preserved in the sacred See also:writing down to the latest See also:age. An old See also:term for the royal palace See also:establishment and See also:estate was Per-'o, " the See also:Great See also:House, " and this gradually became the personal designation of Pharaoh (cf. the See also:Grand See also:Porte), displacing all others in the popular See also:language.
