 | | The god Amun having been adopted at Tanis, it might possibly be wrong to deduce Theban birth from the names of the northern Pharaohs Amenemope and Siamun, but the very unusual Psusennes, meaning 'The Star which arose in Thebes', cannot be denied significance. |
 | | On the other hand a mislaid piece of linen reported by Daressy named according to him a year 49 of Amenemope, but this is extremely improbable, since the tomb at Tanis in which his mummy originally lay is of the humblest description, in no way comparable to that of Psusennes I, its next-door neighbor. |
 | | To be buried in the Biban el-Moluk was no longer an aspiration, and Montet's excavations at Tanis have brought to light in that place the tombs of Psusennes I and of Amenemope, the second and third monarchs of the dynasty, if the probably ephemeral Neferkare' be ignored. |
