	Amyrtaeus
		His grandfather, also called Amyrtaeus, had been the leader of an earlier rebellion (463-461), but his father Pausiris had come to terms with the Persians and had served king Artaxerxes I Makrocheir with distinction.
		Amyrtaeus seems to have concluded an alliance with the Greek town Sparta: the Greeks would invade Asia, and Egypt would send them grain.
		The instability of Amyrtaeus' rule is also suggested by the fact that at the end of his reign, he was removed from the throne by a man named Nepherites I, the founder of a new dynasty, the Mendesian or Twenty-ninth.

		When we make the claim that the reign of Amyrtaeus, and the rebellion he initiated, ended in a military conflict with Persia, we are not in conflict with any documentary evidence.
		Manetho allots to Amyrtaeus a reign of six years, which is probably correct since the Aramaic papyri from Elephantine include a promise of the repayment of a debt dating from his fifth year.
