IV.” all at Serapeum described as “a series of long & principally inactive reigns.”
-Dynasty XXIII; “Tanite”, reference to how “the names Pe du Bast & Ta tu Bast (the mother of Osorkon III) show that these kings continued their close connection with Bubastis”.

-Notes concerning the admission of “chiefs” to the “king’s tent to do homage to him” and reflection that “PianXi’s account of this invasion is very remarkable”, treating rebels with “utmost consideration”, “to avoid bloodshed whenever possible.” As well as that “PiankXi was no doubt of Egyptian origin &worshipped Egyptian gods & the account of this treatment of the country is very different from those by which the Pharaoh’s loved to describe their warlike deeds in foreign lands” (continues on page 61).
