Manetho
Manetho (; ) was an Egyptian historian and priest from Sebennytos (ancient Egyptian: ''Tjebnutjer'') who lived during the Ptolemaic era, approximately during the 3rd century BC.
Manetho wrote the ''Aegyptiaca'' (''History of Egypt''). His work is of great interest to Egyptologists, and is often used as evidence for the chronology of the reigns of pharaohs. The earliest and only surviving reference to Manetho's ''Aegyptiaca'' is that of the Jewish historian Josephus in his work ''Against Apion''.
==Name==
The original Egyptian version of Manetho's name is now lost to us, but some speculate that it means "Gift of Thoth", "Beloved of Thoth", "Truth of Thoth", "Beloved of Neith", or "Lover of Neith". Less accepted proposals are ''Myinyu-heter'' ("Horseherd" or "Groom") and ''Ma'ani-Djehuti'' ("I have seen Thoth"). In the Greek language, the earliest fragments (the Carthage inscription and Flavius Josephus) write his name as Μανεθων ''Manethōn'', so the rendering of his name here is given as Manetho (the same way that ''Platōn'' is rendered "Plato"). Other Greek renderings include ''Manethōs'', ''Manethō'', ''Manethos'', ''Manēthōs'', ''Manēthōn'', and even ''Manethōth''. In Latin we find ''Manethon'', ''Manethos'', ''Manethonus'', and ''Manetos''.
