Psammis reigned over Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt for only six years; he invaded Ethiopia [39,8] (nation), AfricaEthiopia, and immediately thereafter died, and Apries [*](Apries is the Hophra of O.T.; he reigned from 589 to 570 B.C., apparently. But the statement that he attacked +Tyre [35.183,33.266] (inhabited place), Al-Janub, Lebanon, Asia Tyre and +Sidon [35.366,33.55] (inhabited place), Al-Janub, Lebanon, Asia Sidon is inconsistent with Jewish history (Jerem.xxvii, Ezek.xvii.).) the son of Psammis reigned in his place.
